Lessons on Life

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons

to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at
a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe
what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and

twisted.

The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever
seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with
fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they
had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season,
and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that
come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons
are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the
beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.

Moral:

Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

Don't judge life by one difficult season.

Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are
sure to come some time

Aspire to Inspire Before You Expire!

Live Simply. Love Generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly.

Leave the Rest to God.

Happiness keeps You Sweet,

Trials keep You Strong,

Sorrows keep You Human,

Failures keep You Humble,

Success keeps You Glowing,

But Only God keeps You Going!

What a wonderful lesson Jerilyn,

I certainly agree. The lesson also applies to trying out some new process or program, my 3-Step Detox Therapy for example.

I just sent the link to this forum out to all my contacts.

Thanks for sharing :-)

Dear David,

It's great to see you!

Thanks for the information.

I've been on the net 8 months now.

I did not know what to think when I went to the search engines to check out listings from my business.

And found my ads on their pages and I had pages of my own!

I must have done something right!

I'm just not sure what it was! lololol

Take Care,

Jerilyn

Life is but a cycle that must be complete like a circle!

The Cycle

A single seed falls gently,

taking it's time to hit the ground

And when it reaches Mother Earth,

it's home is finely found

The parent tree neither knows or cares,

where the little seed is gone

It will never know the warmth,

or a soothing mother's song

This small creation,

was made by God's own hand

And we are part of the cycle,

this we must understand

For when we die we are buried,

to become one with the earth

and so the cycle is complete,

to help the seed with it's birth

We are all part of what is living,

only to be separated by death

And then it starts all over,

with the drawing of a newborns breath.
