The Story Of The Three Trees

Once there were three trees standing on the hillside. There was an oak tree on one side and a pine tree on the other side and then in the middle was a little cedar tree.       

One day a mighty storm came through and blew  and the mighty oak tree slid down the hill. The wind kept blowing and in a little while  the pine tree slid down the hill. But when the wind finally stopped blowing, the cedar tree was left standing. 

The people of that area began to wonder how it was that the cedar tree survived.      They got a their shovels and started digging down and they dug and dug ….down until they saw why the cedar stood while bigger and mightier trees slid down the hill. Its roots has wrapped themselves  around a big huge rock under the ground. 

So when the winds of the storms and the spiritual storms blow  if you wrap your roots around the Spiritual Rock which is Christ Jesus, you can stand even the mightiest of storms!!

Title:  Air Tower

Illustration:  If a pilot in an airplane disregards the instructions of the airfield tower and crashes, causing much damage and strife, do you conclude that there is no airfield tower? 

No, there are many other aircraft landing safely with instructions from that same tower. 

Do we reason the same way with the existence of a Creator? Just because there are those who are not listening to Him and causing much heartache and pain, does that prove that God does not exist?

You Can’t Please Everyone, So Please Yourself And Those You Can

You are not required to set

yourself on fire to keep other people warm.” 

Really hit home for me, since I grew up trying to mediate my parents issues and had multiple friends in and out of the ER for mental health crises during my teen years, among other things. 

As someone who spent the majority of her life feeling like she had to take care of others

at all costs, it was kinda a shock to the system to hear that I was allowed to have my limits even with people who truly needed help.

Story:

Story of soldier wondering who was out of line when they said line up, & it was him. 

Scripture:

2 Timothy 2:3-5

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

Humor:

The story is told that after sometime in the Garden, Eve grew restless and began to question Adam’s commitment to her.

She inquired, “Adam, do you still love me?”

Adam replied, “There’s no one else but you, honey.”

After thinking through the encounter, Adam inquired of God as to why He made Eve so beautiful.

God replied, “So you would love her.”

Adam continued, “And why did you make her so soft?”

God replied again, “So you would love her,”

Adam pressed on, “And why did you make her so loving?

Again God replied, “So you would love her.”

Finally Adam ventured, “And why did you make her so stupid, God?”

God replied, “So she would love you.” God has a way of humbling us when we need it most.

The Story Of The Blind Golfer

One of the golfers on the pro tour some years ago was a pompous egomaniac with the emotional maturity of a six-year-old. He could do nothing wrong and always had a quick excuse for any loss: it was a lousy course, the other golfers were cheating, the weather was terrible, etc. As if these faults were not enough, he was also not above hustling a few extra dollars playing amateurs in cities on the tour for $50 a hole. 

One day he was approached by a man wearing dark glasses and carrying a white cane who offered to play him for $100 a hole. “Why, I can’t play you,” the professional protested. “You’re blind, aren’t you?” “Yes, I am,” replied the man. “But that’s all right. I was a state champion before I went blind. I think I can beat you.” Now the conceited one had not been doing well lately–he needed the money. Anyway, blind or not, if the guy was crazy enough to challenge him…well, why not? “You did say $100 a hole?” 

The blind man nodded. “Well, all right. It’s a deal. But don’t say I didn’t warn you–you’ll lose your money. When would you like to play?” “Any night at all,” replied the blind man. “Any night at all.”
