Have you ever heard trees sing? Yesterday, I heard them. Oh yes, they loudly praised our glorious God.
I am in Alberta, Canada this week. Yesterday, some friends and I drove into Banff National Park to go hiking. Our destination – the Larch Valley. The Larch tree – the only deciduous conifer in the world – grows only in this area. Its green needles turn to gold in mid to late September. The timing was perfect.
The trail head begins at Moraine Lake about 20 kilometers above Lake Louise. It then rises 1,500 feet providing incredible views of Moraine Lake below and the famous Ten Peaks that surround the valley.

Every turn in the trail revealed new wonders. I snapped dozens of photos in an weak attempt to capture the rare, raw beauty. The golden trees, the majestic mountains, the cascading water all sang praise to the One who formed them.
The first sight of the golden Larch trees!
They lifted their voice to glorify our Creator God. And we heard their song.
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;
let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
Let the trees of the forest sing,
let them sing for joy before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth. 1 Chronicles 16:31-33

Praise be to the LORD God , the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. Praise be to His glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen. Psalm 72:18-19
When was the last time you “heard” creation praise they Creator? When was the last time you listened?
Hello, My name is Theresa Dancy-Moore. I had an experience of praying and praises, the trees began to sing praises to the Lord and clap. This was the most beautiful sound that I have ever heard. Jesus word is truth and it can not come back void. We can stand on all his promises.
