I came
across a thought provoking message recently about trees in a forest…
When we
stand in the middle of the forest, we are able to appreciate the beauty, and the
diversity in nature that surrounds us. As we look around, we become aware of
the individual uniqueness of each tree. Some grow tall and straight, and reach
high above the forest floor. Others may be bent or spindly, but they persevere. Many different varieties may be mixed in together, not caring who they stand
next to. All this, and more adds character and creates the natural beauty in the forest of trees.
We don’t stand in judgement of those differences, we appreciate and love all that they are!
What if we practiced thinking about people the same way we see trees. Appreciate
and love them just the way they are!
