Three Trees

-
The moral of this story always makes me feel better....

 There were three trees in the forest.  The trees were discussing their future plans. One tree wanted to be a big war boat that was involved in many legendary battles. The other laughed and claim that he wanted to be a beautiful home somewhere really nice. The third, wanted to be a powerful weapon.
Well, as you would have had it, things didn't go as planned. The trees, to their disappointment, were cut down by mankind to be used for other purposes...

 The tree that wanted to be the powerful war boat ended becoming a cradle that held baby Jesus. The tree that dreamt of being a big cathedral ended up becoming a manger that provided shelter and safety to Mary and Joseph as they prepared for Jesus anticipated arrival,  and the last tree that wanted to be a weapon ended up becoming a ...cross. The cross that Jesus carried and crucified on. 

You see...our lives may not go as planned because sometimes God has a bigger and better plan for us.

A Moment of Great

For the longest time, I believed I had this type of "fault" where I always wanted to see how trustworthy some people are, but life has brought to my attention that it was never my fault it was my intuition .  Like all classic scenarios, I  failed to listen to my intuition... because for one reason or another I was hopeful that maybe - just maybe I would be wrong...wanting so badly for it to turn out the way I wanted.

Knowing something positive isn't going to come from something/someone who is leaving you feeling suspicious should be intellectually obvious, but for some people (like me) it doesn't become obvious until it you feel it internally. I can't speak for everyone, but all I know is those who keep bringing out something ...

PERSPECTIVE.

Well, well, well…I guess some things one shouldn’t take to heart.   You put something out there for the public to criticize and you best believe people will give their opinion whether it be good or bad…duh!!! LOL   With that being the case, I believe it never means their right and it never means their wrong.   To me, everything is about perspectives.   The good thing about perspectives is that you get to believe what’s right for you . Lately I feel like I’ve been rejected left and right non-stop!   Sometimes I wonder how much more a soul can take, but I do have to remind myself this is something I chose to do.   I guess my take on that is that rejection is part of the recipe to my definition of success.   I know whatever I do in my life this rejection has made me better in certain areas.   What they are I may not know at this moment, but I have to have faith that the answers will surface later and that it will all turn out for the better. ...
