GLENDA Good Morning! I heard a story about a plumber who had a very bad day. He lost an hour of work due to a flat tire; he broke his electric drill; then his ancient truck wouldn’t start. A friend drove him home and he sat in stony silence all the way. When he got home, he walked by a small tree, touched it with both his hands, then walked into his home with a huge smile on his face, hugged his children, and kissed his wife. You see, that tree was what he called his “trouble tree.” He doesn’t want to take his troubles home, so he leaves them hanging on that tree and he asks God to take care of them. He picks them back up the next morning, but after turning them over to God the night before, they don’t seem nearly so bad. What a great idea! I think we all could use a “trouble tree”—but, remember, the secret is not the tree itself—it’s asking God to take care of things. Have a wonderful day!
