Magic Tree



Those of you who live in the Lee's Summit, MO area may have heard of the Magic Tree or have even visited this beautiful tree. If not then you are missing out. This gorgeous tree is definitely "magical" & has become a fun family tradition for many friends & families in the area.

The tree can be seen off of I-470 & View High Drive standing all by its lonesome in the middle of a field. It contains over 12,500 LED lights of every color so you can see why it looks so magical. It has been around for 3 years now & the designer of the tree has been staying anonymous.

I pass this tree every single time I work out in Lee's Summit which is at least 1-2 times/week but have never stopped to see it up close....until this evening.

We had gotten called in to the hospital for an emergent procedure & I decided on the way in to work as I drove by the tree that when we were done with the case I would stop by & check it out up close. So when the case was over I convinced my co-workers to join me & that is what we did. Allen had his son with him when he got called in so he ended up tagging along with our group & loved seeing the tree. We ALL loved seeing the tree. It truly was magical. It was SO bright & pretty & sparkly!

People stop by to admire the tree, propose by the tree, take a selfie with the tree, make a wish at the tree or even pray at the tree - it's whatever feeling you get at the moment & feel impelled to do is what happens at the tree.

After our group photo I turned around to get one last look & quietly said a prayer at the tree. It was an amazing moment with just me, God & the tree. I was SO glad I had made the decision to stop by.

Next year if you get the chance, make the drive & go check out the Magic Tree! I can't wait to take Shane & Mason next year & add the tree to our list of yearly holiday traditions :)
