The Three Trees

This story has been around for a long, long time.  Maybe you have heard it.  I just discovered it recently when I ordered a copy for our family.  I thought it was so neat, I ordered one for all of our nieces and nephews for Easter. 
The Three Trees has its origin in Lebanon and is a story of, obviously, three trees who each have a dream for their lives.  One wants to be the most beautiful treasure chest in the world, one wants to be the strongest sailing ship in the world, and the last one dreams of being the tallest tree in the world in order to be closest to God. 
Just when it looks like none of these dreams will come true, God makes them a reality--and even better than any of them could have imagined.  
This story is a great little lesson in faith, patience and trust.
 
This version is available from Pauline books, and also available on Amazon.
