THE LEGEND OF THE THREE TREES
There was high on a mountain three trees who dreamed what would later be of great.
First, looking at the stars, said: "I want to be the most valuable bag in the world, full of treasures."
Second, looking at the creek and sighed: "I want to be a big ship to carry kings and queens."
The third, looked upon it and said, "I want to stay on top of the mountain and grow so that people, when they look at me, raise your eyes and think of God."
Many years passed and one day three lumberjacks cut down the trees that were eager to be transformed into what they dreamed.
But the lumberjacks can't hear or understand dreams... Too bad!
The first tree was eventually transformed into a trough of animals covered in hay.
The second turned a simple fishing boat carrying people and fish every day.
The third was cut into thick beams and set aside in a warehouse.
So sad and disillusioned , the three asked: Why this?
However, a beautiful night, full of light and stars, a young woman placed her newborn baby in that trough animals.
And suddenly the first tree knew that held the greatest treasure in the world.
The second tree was transporting a man who ended up sleeping on the boat he had become. And when a storm nearly sank the boat, the man stood up and said, "Calm down". And at a glance, the second one felt that was carrying the king of heaven and earth!
Days later, on Friday, the third tree was startled when her beams were united to form a cross and a man was nailed to it. Soon he felt horrible and cruel.
But the next Sunday, the world cheered with joy. And the third tree knew that it had been nailed to a man for the salvation of mankind, and people would always remember God and his Son to look at it.
The trees had had dreams and desires. But his achievement was a thousand times bigger than they had imagined. So do not forget: No matter the size of your dream! Believing it his life will be more beautiful and much better to be experienced!
