People and Trees

I was mowing the lawn today and I had a thought as I passed the apple tree in our backyard. [sidebar: I used to enjoy mowing the lawn but now I anticipate the last cutting of the season.]

Trees can handle a lot more than we think they can - intense rains, strong winds, snow, sleet, ice, and squirrels. Trees are strong. Unless there is something wrong on the inside, something that we cannot see. Then at a time we expect them to be strong and sturdy, they break and fall. Because something was wrong on the inside.
