Holiday Inspiration: “The Three Trees”<\/em> <\/strong>by Angela Elwell Hunt
\nOh, how this story brings tears to my eyes! It’s powerful imagery is a good reminder throughout the year, but it\u2019s relation to the Nativity Story is why it made this list.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t always what God has planned for us.<\/p>\n

The first tree doesn\u2019t 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<\/a>,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<\/a>). The third becomes the cross that bore Jesus at His death (Mark 15:37<\/a>). Not only does this story teach us about Christ, but it reminds us our dreams are in good Hands. He \u201cis able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine\u201d (Ephesians 3:20<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Bible Verses to reflect on:
\n<\/strong>\u201cTaste and see how good the Lord is! The one who takes refuge in him is truly happy!”<\/em> \u2013 Psalms 34:8<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe angel replied, ‘The Holy Spirit will come over you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the one who is to be born will be holy. He will be called God\u2019s Son.”<\/em>\u2013 Luke 1:35<\/strong><\/div>\n

\n

\u201cJesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Hebrews 13:8<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
