"We all need a Tree!”

A Beautiful Rose from our
Yard and Home in WV

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

(I didn't create this story, but loved it when I read it and wanted to share)

God has a way that is much better than ours! I’m going to do this! I will be happier if I limit my bad day to the day, and not bring it in my home to my husband at night. Yes, even in the ministry, days can be hard! BUT GOD! Give Him your cares and worries. His shoulders are much broader than ours. Enjoy every moment with your families. LKMilam

“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 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.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here, we might as well (have joy). We all need a Tree!”
