This is an awesome story...
Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods.
They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the
first tree said, Someday I hope to be a treasure
chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems.
I could be decorated with intricate carving and
everyone would see the beauty.

Then the second tree said, Someday I will be
a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the
waters and sail to the corners of the world.
Everyone will feel safe in me because of the
strength of my hull.

Finally the third tree said, I want to grow to be the tallest
and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top
of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the
heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will
be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me.

After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true,
a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to
the first tree he said, This looks like a strong tree, I think I
should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter, and he began
cutting it down.

The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would
make him into a treasure chest.

At the second tree the woodsman said, This looks like a strong
tree, I should be able to sell it to the shipyard.

The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his
way to becoming a mighty ship.

When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was
frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his
dreams would not come true.

One of the woodsmen said, I don’t need anything special from
my tree, so I’ll take this one, and he cut it down.

When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into
a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and
filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.

The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His
dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to
an end.

The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the
dark.

Years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave
birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box
that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he
could have made a crib for the baby, but this would have to
do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and
knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.

Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from
the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep.
While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and
the tree didn’t think it was strong enough to keep the men safe.
The men woke the sleeping man, and He stood up and said
Peace and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew
that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.

Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried
through the streets as the people mocked the man who was
carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to
the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When
Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong
enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God
as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.

The moral of this story is that when things don’t seem to be
going your way, always know that God has a plan for you.
If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts.
Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way
they had imagined. We don’t always know what God’s
plans are for us.

We just know that His ways are not always our ways, but
His ways are always best. Please keep this moving...pass it
on, so He may inspire more people on the way. May your
day be blessed. May your road rise to meet you. May the
wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warmly
upon your face. May the rain fall softly upon all that you
plant. And, until we meet again, May God cradle you in the
palm of His hand. Amen.
