After such devastation hit Japan with the Tsunamis the miracle of the Cherry Blossoms is whispering hope to the beaten down people. Many have lost not only all material possessions, but also their friends an family. Thus, the Cherry blossom is becoming the symbol for hope in the nation. One woman said "“ Every year that the trees bloom, they will give us courage to keep going, They blossom as they watch over this town. They saw the tsunami. They see everything. I want to tell the bloom, 'Keep watching us. We’ll revive.'” I view that as one of the tender mercies by our Heavenly Father that no matter where or when, he provides a little bit of beauty in every situation to remind us that things are not as bad as they may seem.
