A meaningful story that i saw at one of my friend blog.

A Story… A Dream… An Inspiration
Sometimes we get what we need and not what we want..........
Do you agree???
Here goes the story….

Once, there were 3 trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the 1st tree said, 'Someday, I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems and be decorated with intricate carvings. Everyone would see my beauty.'

The 2nd tree said, 'Someday, I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of other world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull.'

Finally, the 3rd tree said, 'I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time, and people will always remember me.'

After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. One came to the 1st tree and said, 'This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter,' and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.

At the 2nd tree, one of the other woodsmen said, 'This looks like a strong tree. I should be able to sell it to the shipyard.' The 2nd tree was happy, because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.

When the woodsmen came upon the 3rd tree, the tree was frightened, because it knew that, if it cuts own, its dream would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, 'I don't need anything special from my tree, so I'll take this one,' and he cut it down.

When the 1st tree arrived at the carpenter's, he was made into a feed box for animals, placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.

The 2nd tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end. The 3rd tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark.

The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams. Then one filtered day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth, and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.

Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose, and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe.

The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said 'Peace,' and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.

Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets, and the crowd mocked the man who was carrying it. The man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill.

When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.

The moral of this story is that, when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined.

We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always the best.

Sometimes the heart sees what the eyes can't… feel what the heart can’t feel…

This is just a story that I wish to share with you my friend… it might jus be a story… an entertainment… however some days it might be an inspiration for you and me……

GOD BLESS YOU . . . .

A Difficult proccess to create a blog

At last i success to have a blog, after choose between blogger, wordpress, life journal,...... Just feel blogger is more colourful. But in the proccess of creating i seriously almost going to throw my laptop few times.

          At first is about the interenet browser, the flock that i used normally seem like anti blogger. Except for the blog page and dashboard, the rest or the setting i'm viewing in document form. The worst things was i though is like that and really used it for almost 4 hours to change all the setting around. i'm only felt something wrong when i try to create a post, all the undo, redo....... logo are cover by some words. When i see it clearly, the words is the translate of all the logo. The worst thing is i still continue to use it.

          Then is about my URL that i wish to change. Since i'm using flock to proccess my account. I end up change my URL for 10 plus time for the seme word cause i can't see where are the errors of those words that reply to me:

There are errors on this form

Please fix the errors listed below and submit again.
You're publishing on blogspot.com
Switch to: • Custom Domain (Point your own registered domain name to your blog)  
Then i thought some problem accur on this blog so i go and create another blog. Haha, end up result still the same.
          Since i can't change my URL, i just go and check can i easily view my account as another person cause i put my account as private. End up is just like a public account, can view easily. Then only i go and used the IE cause what i think was mabye i never logout at any of the flock that i open. Only when i open the IE to check on something only i found out the differences. The viewing format is totally defferent loh. Lol.
