The Legend of the Three Trees

The Legend of the Three Trees is based on the traditional folk tale. This story can be found on the internet.

Our dreams can be realized, but not always as we might expect. 
The first tree desired to be a treasure box and ends up as a mere feeding trough. the second tree desired to be a strong sailing ship, and ultimately, becomes a small fishing boat. The third tree who wanted to remain planted and point heavenward, as the tallest tree in the forest, is made into lumber that is fashioned into a cross.
What appears to be unanswered dreams really are fulfilled with Jesus Christ.
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 thay had imagined. We don't always know what Gods plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, But His ways are always best.
Each of these trees finds itself in a place they never desired to be, yet in the end - God's love changes everything.
Jeremiah 29:11 "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."
God has a plan for each of us. There may be times we lose sight of our dreams, and we may not understand things that take place in our lives. We must remember that God loves us, and has a plan for us, and is in control; therefore we can trust Him.

What are your plans this week?
