We Are Each Like The Pear Tree....

🔥

15 years ago I was at a tree farm. I saw an odd clump of lush green shoots and asked what it was. " Garbage" was the answer.....a pear tree that had died. I asked them how much for it. They laughed and dug it up. It was free. A bunch of foot tall shooters and a 200 lb root ball!!

Laughing at myself, I took it home, dug a gigantic hole and planted it. It is now 15+ feet tall. It's has magnificent orange fall leaves that are the last leaves to drop. It just needed to he cared for a little and not discarded, and it transformed into majesty. If a "dead", "garbage" pear tree can do that....think what we can do!
