tale of three trees

The olive tree, an oak tree, and the pine tree had a great dream to become something special in life.
The olive tree dreamed of becoming a finely crafted chest.It wanted to hold gold, silver, and precious jewellery.When the woodman cut the tree, the olive tree was excited.But as he craftsman began working, it reliazed that they were making him into a box to hold food for dirty, smelly animals,instead of a beautiful chest.Heartbroken, his dreams were shattered and it felt worthless.
The oak tree dreamed of becoming part of the huge ship that would carry important kings across the ocean.As the woodsman cut down he oak tree, it was so excited.Later he reliazed, they were making him into a tiny fishing boat, insead of huge ship.
The pine tree lived on top of a high mountain.Its only dream was to always stand tall and remind people of God's reat creation.But in split second, a bolt of lightning sent it tumbling to the ground, destroying its dreams.
All the trees felt they had lost their values and their worth.But God had other plans for these trees.
Many years later, Mary and Joseph couldn't find any place to give birth to their little boy.
When jesus was born they placed him in the box made from-you guessed it-the olive tree.Now the olive tree held the greatest treasure of all time.
A few years later, jesus wanted a boat to cross the lake, he dint choose a large fancy ship, he chose a small fishing boat made from-you guessed it- the oak tree.The oak now carried the king of kings.
A few more years went by, the pine tree was discarded as a scrap of wood.
But much to its surprise, they cut only two small pieces out of it and formed the cross.And it was on this pine tree that jesus was cricified.That tree is sill poining people to God's love and compassion to this day.
The point of this classic story - all three trees thought they had lost their value, yet they became integral parts of the greatest story ever told.
