Your trouble tree

"I hired a plumber to help me repair an old farmhouse.
He already had a rough and tiresome day.
* a flat tyre
* his electric drill fault
* his old car broke down.
* his tiffin was spoilt
* he lost his wallet
* his bank was calling for loan repayments

In all the tension and stress he finished my repairs.

Since his car broke down, I drove him home. While I drove him home, he sat silently, but I could mark his agony and restlessness.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family.

As we walked toward the front door, he paused at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands and closed his eyes.

When the door opened, he was smiling and happy. In seconds he underwent an amazing transformation.

He hugged his two small children, gave his wife a firm hug, laughed, and never even slightly made them feel the troubles that he had encountered that day.

I was astonished and curious. Seeing my inquisitive eyes he said, β€œOh, that's my Trouble Tree. My best friend. My trouble carrier for the night”.

He replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure. Those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again.”

He smiled and shared a secret. He said, β€œwhen I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging there the night before !!!

*Life may be a burden of worries, but there is a way to keep our loved ones untouched from these worries.*

Time will heal every wound.

Whoever is tensed today, look for a tree before you reach home! Hang your worries there! 🌳
