description on back of card:

Roots are vitally important for the life of a tree.  They establish and anchor the tree.  They store and transfer water and nutrients to sustain it.  A tree with healthy, deep roots tapping into a water source needs not fear when it endures high winds and drought and fire.   In the same way, being deeply rooted in the love of Jesus Christ and meditating on His Word will result in  unshakeable strength, endurance, and fruitfulness. We have the responsibility to provide such a foundation for the generation that follows us.  And we have the choice to run our own roots deep into the stories of God’s faithfulness in the lives of those who have gone before us.Trees bear fruit in season, but then if we diligently store it away in jars, it will be saved and preserved,  to be enjoyed in the season that follows.  In the same way, when we tell the stories from our lives to the next generation, those stories are preserved.
