Brothers and Sisters;

A thought worth pondering as we enter this most stressful time of year....

> The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just
> finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour
> of work, his electric saw quit and now his ancient pickup truck refused to
> start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. 
> 
> On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the
> front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the
> branches with both hands. When opening the door, he underwent an amazing
> transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his
> two small children and gave his wife a kiss. 
> 
> Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got
> the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. 
> 
> "Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help having
> troubles on the job, but one thing for sure, troubles don't belong in the
> house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree
> every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. 
> "Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em
> up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."
