Tree

We all Need a Tree!

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had

just finished a rough first day on the job, a flat tire made him lose an

hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one-ton truck

refused to start.

While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited

me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused

briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both

hands.

When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation.. His face

was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his

wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity

got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do

earlier.

"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied "I know I can't help having

troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't

belong in the house with my wife and the children.. So I just hang them

up on the tree every night when I come home and ask G-d to take care of

them. Then in the morning I pick them up again." "Funny thing is," he

smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't

nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

THIS ONE IS WORTH SENDING ON.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might

as well dance.

We all Need a Tree!

Wishing you a wonderful day!
