I didn't get to see the complete video in Sunday School today, but I did get the low-down on this nice children's show they were able to watch about 3 trees.
Here's what I remember:
Once there were 3 trees in the forest, each of whom had their own ambition. The first tree wanted to become part of a mansion of some sort - a castle, something big and magnificent. As he was cut down though, he was disappointed to find out he was only to become part of a manger.
This manger though was where Jesus was born.
The second tree wanted to part of a great big ship that would sail the world. However, he was cut down to become part of a fishing boat.
This fishing boat carried Jesus. On this fishing boat, the Lord told the storm to be still.
The third tree didn't want to be cut down at all. The 3rd tree wanted to become the tallest tree in the forest, the tallest tree in the world. But to his dismay, he was cut down and made into a cross.
This cross was the very same one where Jesus was crucified.
The story is very simple but also very true. It took most of the kindergarten kids a long time to get it though, but the story is a reflection of what God will do with us. We are just like those trees. We will be pruned by the Lord, we will be guided by the Lord and eventually we will be used by the Lord.
We have a lot of plans but in the end, it is the Lord's will that will prevail.
