(Gleditsia triacanthos)

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!  Psalm 119:103

Honeylocust Blossoms
Sweet-smelling Blossoms that Attract Bees in Spring

Honeylocust Leaves
Golden as Honey are the Leaves of the Honey Locust in Fall

            How important is the word of God for us?  Do we desire to hear and read it?
            Early in spring bees are attracted to the sweet-smelling blossoms of the honey locust trees.  In fall, the leaves turn to be a golden, honey color.

Dear Lord,
            Help us to desire to read and hear your word. Help us think of it as “sweeter than honey”.  In your name we pray, Amen.
