Three Trees for Thee

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11


A teacher wanted a special CHRISTmas book.  I told her about one of my favorite books, The Tale of Three Trees.   Not having it in the library, i offered to bring her my personal copy from 20 years ago.  As i reread it, i realized i didn't exactly get the story right, it actually was more beautiful than i remembered.

You might enJOY listening or reading it too.  https://youtu.be/DjlOViJlM3U?t=5

The Tale of Three Trees is a traditional folktale retold by Angela Elwell Hunt.  It explains how our dreams of greatness do not always come true.  God has a divine plan for each of us. When we lose sight of our dreams, and don't  understand things that take place in our lives, don't lose hope. May we continue to remember God loves us, has a plan for us, and is in control; therefore we can trust Him... at all times.

Whatever you are dreaming of for CHRISTmas and your life, may you discover it met or even exceeded by God's dream and plan for you.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
