Tree planting

For the last few weeks we have be involved in planting 500 trees on a small site on my Parent's croft. Myself and Anthony Skelding had the crazy idea that God was asking us to plant trees and get the church in Shetland involved in this. It was to symbolise God's heart for his followers to be rooted in his plans for their lives and to grow into the people he is calling them to be. It was a mixed plantation with every type of tree you can think of and them some friut bushes as well, this symbolises the mixture of people now living in Shetland and how we need to grow together to make Shetland a fab place to live in. We needed to raise over 1000 pounds. The day I went to pay for the trees we had only received 610 pounds. When Angus told me the cost for the trees was 610 pounds i was amazed. There's always enough!
