Legend of the Three Trees

Tonight I read Chase one of my favorite books, The Legend of the Three Trees. If you have never read it, it is about three trees and what they thought God's plan was for their lives. One tree was going to be used to make a treasure chest, one tree would be a powerful ship and the other tree thought it would stay on its mountain. But one tree became a feeding box for animals but it was here that Jesus was born. The other tree became a simple fishing boat but it carried Jesus and he calmed the waters with just a word. The final tree was turned into a cross that Jesus died on to save people from their sins. God had a different plan for each of these trees.

After reading it, I asked Chase (3 years old) what he thought God's plan was for him.

Chase: To be saved.

Me: Do you know what it means to be saved?

Chase: I get to be with God.
