The Tale of the Three Trees

The Tale of the Three Trees

When my son was a preschooler I discovered this wonderful story. A traditional folktale about the desires and dreams of three trees. When woodcutters cut the trees down, they are initially disappointed in the purpose the woodcutters have chosen for them. But the trees ultimately come to realize that the purpose that God chose for them far surpassed any of their own dreams.

I often find this to be true in my own life. God fills my cup to overflowing on a regular basis and far exceeds my dreams.

This is also a great book to read this week, but you'll have to read the story to find out why. I won't spoil the story for you.
