Four friends sit under the Juniper Tree
Commiserating in their misery
All stressed out
And tired as can be.
Four friends sit under the Juniper Tree.

Charlene she juggles, Peggie she runs
And Barb just cracks her cars up for fun.
And Franziska she translates it all into French.
Each part, one by one.
All of them have the deepest of faiths
But still, sometimes, when they juggle and run
Translate and crack up their cars, they just don't have fun.

These four busy ladies in their four busy lives
Sometimes need to retreat, to just turn aside,
To take some refreshment, to sip from the well.
For troubles come often but God's word abides
In the love of a friend who stands by our side.

We invite you to join us under the Juniper Tree where you'll find refreshment, some words to console and a shoulder to cry on when you're feeling blue. You'll discover what keeps us going as we journey through life - the community of friends and good solid advice. Like - go take a nap, be kind to yourself, remember God loves you and so do we. Please join us under the Juniper Tree.

Nous sommes quatre amies, assises sous Le Genêt Isolé. Des fois, nous sommes toutes très fatiguées.
Charlene doit jongler, Peggie court, Barbara a du trouble avec son auto, et Franziska court de l'ordinateur à l'étable.
Nous vivons toutes dans la foi, mais des fois, les choses ne sont pas très faciles. Alors nous avons besoin d'une retraite, d'un rafraîchissement, d'une gorgée d'eau pure. Et la Parole de Dieu devient réelle dans l'amour d'un ami qui est à nos côtés.

Nous t'invitons à nous joindre sous Le Genêt Isolé. (1 Rois 19, 4).Tu vas y trouver du rafraîchissement, des mots qui te consolent, et une epaule pour y pleurer quand tu te sens triste. Tu peux découvrir ce qui nous aide a marcher sur notre chemin de la vie - la communauté entre amies et des bons p'tits conseils: comme - prends une petite sieste, gâte-toi un peu, souviens toi, que Dieu t'aime beaucoup - et nous aussi! Bienvenue, viens assis-toi sous Le Genêt!

Devotions en francais:

Read Franziska's devotions translated.

For example, enter the following url http://www.granby.net/~santschi/source98-01.htm and it will translate the original French into English for you.

During the winter of 1996-1997, when things were difficult in places, letters were written that shared with friends the feelings of being down and the struggles against despair. These led to two very powerful and beautiful devotions.

In these devotions you will find the seed of the Company of the Juniper Tree. Jesus said: " Come unto Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV) As Christian friends we share the yoke and the burden and we encourage each other to the rest that is ours in Christ Jesus. So, when you find yourself in an Elijah situation, we bid you come join us under the Juniper Tree. Here you will find rest and encouragement so that you can, like Elijah, hear the "still, small voice" and be refreshed to return to the world, to your ministries.

God: Holy Spirit, Jesus, the Father.
Wells: There's Peggie's Well, Charlene has one too and so does Franziska.
Tables: Barbara has the Master's Table.
Prayer: Intercessors and prayers for Marthas.
Music: Music soothes, inspires and lifts us.
Healthy Marriages: Build one, encounter one, romance one.


Friends: A Pot of Gold

   

This Pot of Gold is very special. When you visit them you will discover a "peculiar people," a band of fellow Christians doing ministry on the Web (and with each other) who show that being Christian is not a deterrent to being joyful, creative, fun, caring, delightful, happy, welcoming, warm, thoughtful, diverse, zany, humourous and a host of other positive adjectives. These people all firmly believe that they have been blessed TO BE a blessing. I invite you to discover their joyful faith, their wonderful testimony to the grace of God and their witness to the call and power of God in their daily lives.

Juniper Philosophy

This world would be a much nicer place
if we put into practice - the whole human race -
the spirit of love into all of our acts.
We'd blossom and flourish like leaves on a tree
if only we'd open our eyes and see
that the practice of kindness to each living thing
is but a part of the victory o'er death and it's sting!

If you want to learn more on how to practice
Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty, see:

World of Good  Bear Bytes.

Other Juniper Trees

Fancy this! We've found ourselves a Bed & Breakfast in Salmon Arm, BC. The Juniper Tree offers a place of rest and relaxation in superb surroundings. They even have a Juniper Room. We just "knew" there had to be a place like this! To book a stay or for more info send a note to Jeanne

Coming very soon... Info on Juniper Tree Retreats. From my very special friends in the US:

"Two years ago, two friends and I started what we call "Juniper Tree Retreats.... God gave the three of us a vision to minister to hurting women, then divinely gave us the concept of the Juniper Tree as a place of retreat, to rest, to be fed, both natural and spiritual food, and a place of healing....
You site and your vision touches me deeply. It is confirmation of what we know to be so true, the Spirit of our God moves in the same manner across the earth, putting into the hearts of each of us the same message. It would be wonderful to know how many hearts He has touched with a "Juniper Tree" vision."

Juniper Closets



The first closet you will discover at the Juniper Tree is Peggie's Broom Closet. Now, this is a very special closet. Not only does Peggie keep her broom and bucket and cleaning cloths there but a sword! She says she uses it and that you might want to too.

I'm looking for a Prayer Closet.... See Luke 6:6 KJV.

We urge you to attend the church of your choice. Find a fellowship of believers and become part of the family. We won't promise you a hurt-free existence. No family is THAT perfect, not even, maybe especially even, the Christian family. All we can say is that we are "redeemed failures." We try to walk the walk not just "talk the talk." Sometimes we fail. Our brothers and sisters "bear with" us when we do - gently calling us back to redemption. Join us and become part of the great adventure of discipleship! We have someone we'd like you to meet - Jesus Christ.

Scripture of the Week

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
