Once upon a time there was these three trees that dreamt. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said "Someday I hope to be
a treasure chest". I could be filled with a the good of life.
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will love to be a mighty ship" . I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me.
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest". (like a tree on the hill that can never be hidden). People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me.

After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter, " and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree the woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree,
I should be able to sell it to those making ships." The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened
because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree, I'll take this one," and he cut it down.
- When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.
- The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams might have not come to an end but he gave away all hopes.
- The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark.
years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams. Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.
Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and He stood and said "Peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings , the Prince of Peace in its boat. What a dream eclipsing...
Finally, someone was made to carry the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
My dear friends The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, when things are going wrong, when things are working against the things you know, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, he will never let you down.
