Another Book
Last Sunday we reconnected with a couple we had known in Kenya a long time ago. They were in the church we attended. Although they live in Britian they are still very involved in a child sponsership work in Kenya with a man we have known and Paul mentored since he was a teen. What fun we had recalling old times. Anyway, they are trying to get another charity started called "The Giving Tree", a reforestation project. Anyway, today when I was jogging I saw a tree that had fallen over and it reminded me of the book "The Giving Tree". OK, what's the point of all this......that book is definitely one that made me cry and it is only a children's story but one well worth reading as an adult. I think I'll try and find it and get a copy for myself!

No, it's the story about a boy and a tree and how the boy grew and wanted this or that from the tree and the tree's willingness to give all it had for the boy/man's happiness. It's by Shel Silverstein.
yeah... that's a good one. maybe i'll read it to my class one day. it's good to read your posts. you should do it more often.
