Friday Tale - Rating Blessings The Travelers and the Plane Tree T wo travelers, worn out by the heat of the summer's sun, laid themselves down at noon under the wide- spreading branches of a Plane Tree (see picture). As they rested under its shade, one of the Travelers said to the other, "What a singularly useless tree is the Plane! It bears no fruit, and is not of the least service to man." The Plane Tree, interrupting him, said, "You ungrateful fellow! Do you, while receiving benefits from me and resting in my shade, dare to describe me as useless and unprofitable?" Some men under-rate their blessings. Do you? ~ Steve Goodier O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise and give thanks to Your name, for You have done marvelous things, plans formed long, long ago, fulfilled with perfect faithfulness. ~ Isaiah 25:1
