Say "Hello" to the Tree

Pastor Kenneth Chafin tells

of being in beautiful east

Texas one lovely April Sunday.

Wild flowers, azaleas, redbud

and dogwood trees had put on

their glorious Spring colors.Yet Dr. Chafin had not taken

time to fully absorb the spec-

tacular scene before him.

Basically, he was tired from

the previous week which had

been stressful. On this first

day of the new week, he was

mentally preparing himself to

preach in a large church and

thinking of his schedule to fol-low.

He and his wife decided to

walk to the church along with

their 4-year-old daughter,

Nancy.

Nancy's short little legs made

it difficult for her to keep pace

with her parents. Furthermore,

her attention was captured bythe blooming flowers and trees

all about her. Her eyes came

to focus on one spectacular

dogwood tree in particular.

She stopped to study its lovely

blossoms. Then she decided

the tree needed to be ad-

dressed. "Hi, tree!" she said

with a friendly smile. Dr. Chaf-

in said that word of acknowl-

edgment to the tree made him

ashamed of himself. "I had

been in such a hurry to get to

church," he later wrote, "that I

had missed my Creator's ser-

mon growing by the sidewalk."

Perhaps this Spring we need

to not only take time "to smell

the roses" but to thank God

often for the loveliness of cre-

ation. And, if no one is around,

we might even say "Hi" to a

tree or two.

The Week at a Glance You cannot stay where you are and go with God. You cannot continue doing things your way and accomplishGod’s purpose in his ways. Your thinking cannot come close to God’s thoughts. For you to do the will of God,

you must adjust your life to him, his purposes and his ways. —Henry Blackaby

Last-minute Planning

It was the start of a holiday weekend, andthe service station was crowded. Finally, anattendant hustled up to the local minister

who had been waiting in line for sometime. "I'm sorry about the delay, pastor,"the attendant apologized, "but it seems

like everybody waits until the last minuteto get ready for a trip which they knew

they were going on all along."

The pastor smiled and said, "I know what

you mean. I have the same problem in mybusiness."
