You are like an Oak Tree in Winnebago IL

100 acorns were dropped that year and yours was carried off and buried by a squirrel. That small acorn had all the information (innate intelligence) needed to grow a huge oak tree. It knew how to make bark, sap, leaves, and branches. It took some time, but a perfect young sapling was born. During your first spring there was a fierce storm which caused a slight bend in your trunk. It did not cause you much trouble in the early years. As you grew, you encountered other small problems, one day you were scraped by a lawn mower.

Within a few weeks it scabbed over and the bark filled in, but this area was weak, and it was the perfect place for bugs to nest. From the outside, you continued to look strong and healthy. The large maple next to you was getting weak, one day he lost a large limb. As it fell, it hit some of your limbs. It did not tear them off, but pulled them away from the trunk. From the outside no damage was seen, but water started to seep into the crack and rot your trunk. By the time you are 50 that slight bend in your trunk is causing you a lot of stress, the bugs are beginning to take over, and the seeping water has caused extensive damage. You say "that is just part of being a tree." Over the next few years the damage continues until you are no longer providing any shade. All of your leaves are gone, your bark is pealing, you start to wonder if you have any purpose at all. One day you are nothing but a rotting stump.

How would your life be different, if a loving gardener had noticed that slight bend and corrected it early? And if each of those small problems had been corrected throughout your life. You could have livedyour last days with purpose and glory. Take the time to have small problems corrected before they become big problems. And make sure you have the saplings and large maple at your house checked now so they can have the best life possible.
