Holiday Inspiration: “The Three Trees” by Angela Elwell Hunt
Oh, how this story brings tears to my eyes! It’s powerful imagery is a good reminder throughout the year, but it’s relation to the Nativity Story is why it made this list.
Three trees have big dreams. One wants to become a treasure box. Another desires to be made into a large sailing ship. The third dreams of remaining planted, growing tall enough to reach heaven. But just like our lives, their dreams aren’t always what God has planned for us.
The first tree doesn’t become a treasure box, per se, but it ends up holding the Greatest Treasure of all when it becomes a manger which cradles the newborn Savior (Luke 2:7,12). Instead of a mighty ship, the second becomes a meager fishing boat that totes Jesus as He calms the waters (Matthew 8:23-27). The third becomes the cross that bore Jesus at His death (Mark 15:37). Not only does this story teach us about Christ, but it reminds us our dreams are in good Hands. He “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20).
