The Dogwood Tree - Imagine Forgivenss

The Spring Dogwood Tree in April

The spring dogwood is in full bloom today. This tree is so beautiful. 

When I visited the winter Dogwood in January, the tree spoke to me of imagination.

When I visited the spring Dogwood in April, the tree spoke to me of forgiveness.

When I combine these words it is - imagine forgiveness. Imagine how the world would be if all of us lived a life of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is the path of peace.

The spring dogwood tree is filled with white or pink flowers with four large petals. There are marks of red or white and a center of yellow. The legend of the dogwood relates the dogwood to the Easter story of Jesus. I encourage everyone to read the story for yourselves.

"To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness."
~ Robert Muller
