Do you know where in the Bible the olive tree first appears? In the
story of the flood, Noah sees that life has begun anew when the dove returns
with an olive branch in its mouth (Genesis 8:11, 21). One lesson from the olive
is that just as an olive only yields fine oil when pressed, so too, when we are
pressed between the millstones of life, our best selves emerge. It is often
only when forced that we rise to the occasion to meet life’s challenges.
Celebrate life in the Holy Land and help us make it even more beautiful and
green by planting a tree today!
