If this tree could talk it would have many interesting stories to share. What you might not have noticed, the tree is damaged. You see, it was struck by lightening and not only that, but it had weathered many storms. This tree is symbolic of what our life was at one time. Every counselor that we sought seemed to think that our marriage was diseased and there was no hope.Our children were definitely being negatively affected. We were so damaged Our scars were ugly Was there any hope for our family? Should we be "taken down?"We loved that ole' oak so we decided to take a chance on that tree....
