Anna Lea CannonA few years ago, Anna Lea and her husband traveled to Jerusalem. One of the highlights of the trip was standing in the Garden of Gethsemane and thinking about the all-encompassing yet, at the same time, individual sacrifice Jesus made for her and her family. Anna Lea was intrigued by how old the olive trees were with their gnarled trunks and branches. Upon researching, she found that these trees regenerate with sprouts in a way that links them to one another through antiquity. This eternal nature is very symbolic as it relates to Christ and his power to bring all of God's children eternal life.The intergeneration linkage of olive trees resembles the intergenerational ties of families. This appeals to Anna Les who comes from a family of nine children. Her parents now have a posterity of over 165, so being connected like the olive trees are connected as a family is deeply meaningful to her.Anna Lea is an elementary school teacher and loves working with children.
