THE STORY OF THE TREE

 years ago a woman put a burl of an old tree in a bowl of water.  The result was a vigorous new plant.  However the little tree grew so fast and so big, that the woman asked her husband to plant it outside.  They were both surprised how fast the little tree grew, sending up two trunks.  The woman loved the tree.

The leaves were of a feathery shape, and grew thickly, making the tree a haven for the birds.  The people living near by enjoyed the beauty of the tree.  It was lovely in every season, as it reached for the heavens.

 Long since the woman has gone to her rest.  The tree continued its rapid and vigorous growth. To the point that the husband worried that a wind storm might bring the branches crashing through his home.

 And so, alas, the tree was taken down. Someone brought a wreath, and placed it as a memorial to the grand old tree.

Life can seem so beautiful one moment and changed forever the next. Oh what a difference a day makes! This is posted in memory of a beautiful tree, gone but not forgotten.

Please wait for the pictures to change. Enjoy and may you be blessed.
