THIS CHRISTMAS

Mend
a quarrel.
Seek out a
forgotten friend.
Dismiss suspicion and
replace it with trust. Write
a love letter. Share some treasure.
Give a soft answer. Encourage youth.
Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.
Keep a promise. Find the time. Forgo a grudge.
Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if you were
wrong. Try to understand. Flout envy. Examine your
demands on others. Think first of someone else. Appreciate.
Be kind; be gentle. Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Deserve
confidence. Take up arms against malice. Decry complacency. Express
your gratitude. Go to church. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the
heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.
Speak your love.
Speak it again.
Speak it still once again.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

(I didn't write this, I found it the other day and thought it was a good message. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year)

Appears to be the tree of wisdom...or of life. Very cute in deed

May we all water this tree during our life that it may grow
