The Legend of the Three Trees

The Legend of the Three Trees

I totally loved this book! It is the story of three

trees and the dreams they had for themselves.

And the bleak days ahead when they

thought their dreams were in no 

way going to come true. 

And then.... they saw God's plan

for their lives and how much

better God's plan was than their

original dream.

 

One thing I want to instill in my

grand children is that we are not

to follow our dreams.

We are not to follow our hearts.

 The heart is deceitful above all things, 

and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Jeremiah 17:9 

  

Our hearts cannot be trusted!

We are to follow God!

We are to seek God's will for

our lives and we are to follow

God's plan for our lives.

We will only find the peace we desire when 

we align our will with His and we follow Him!

This book teaches children that

God has a better plan for our lives

than we could ever imagine.

It is not a CHRISTmas book.

But - it shares the gospel in such a way

I think children will benefit from 

it during the CHRISTmas season.

It would be great for an afternoon story

time along with a 

CHRISTmas Tree Craft

such as this one:

This easy to make ornament can be 

made with any old stick and scraps of ribbon.

Just have the kids tie the ribbon onto

the stick and then trim it to

resemble a CHRISTmas Tree and 

tie a ribbon or string on the top

to hang it by.
