Got this from my aunt... beautiful...>>THE TROUBLE TREE >>
I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just >>finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one ton truck refused to start.
>> >>While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me >>in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.
>> >>When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face >>was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. >>Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.
>> >>"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again."
"Funny thing is," he smiled," when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."
>> >>THIS ONE IS WORTH SENDING ON. God Bless, Have A Great Day!!!
