Sheltering Tree

So last night I was dragged (drug??) to aerobics by my good friend Betsy (thanks Betsy!!), and I heard the most amazing song while there!  The class is a Christian aerobics class and they play all Christian music, and as we were starting to cool down the song "Sheltering Tree" came on.  Here is a sampling of the lyrics:

it's been said a friend is like a mighty sheltering tree
a place of refuge we can run when trouble comes for you and me
someone we can count on through the thick and thin
when the storms of life are blowing, there's
just nothing like a friend

we all need sheltering trees
friends in our lives who'll get down on their knees
and lift us up before the king of kings
we all need sheltering trees

I was so moved by this song for many reasons!  I know that I have had friends like this in my life and I totally want to be this kind of friend for others!!  Anyway, when I saw the BBTB2 challenge this week (incorporate a ladybug into your card design), I knew that I wanted to incorporate the lyrics of this song.  So...here's my take!  I hope you like it!!
