Here's a funny take:
We had a Sycamore growing in the front yard, under powerlines. The power company said it had to go. They CUT it down. Unlike the Sycamore at ground zero - that was pushed down, not CUT down.
Anyway the power company offered a replacement. A Cedar was requested, but not offered. We selected a Dogwood.
Well Isaiah 9:10 was speaking about my house. We've had things fall down, and have hewn stones.
And the Dogwood speaks of Christ :
Quote:
In Jesus' time, the dogwood grew
To a stately size and a lovely hue.
'Twas strong and firm, its branches interwoven.
For the cross of Christ its timbers were chosen.
Seeing the distress at this use of their wood
Christ made a promise which still holds good:
"Never again shall the dogwood grow
Large enough to be used so.
Slender and twisted, it shall be
With blossoms like the cross for all to see.
As blood stains the petals marked in brown,
The blossom's center wears a thorny crown.
All who see it will remember Me
Crucified on a cross from the dogwood tree.
Cherished and protected, this tree shall be
A reminder to all of My agony."

So my Sycamore was predicted in Isaiah.
See, I can draw grand supernatural links, parallels, and scenarios too.
