There was a man who had
four sons.
He wanted his sons to learn
not to Judge things too
quickly.
So he sent them each on a
quest, in turn,to go and look
at a pear tree that was a
great distance away
The first son went in the winter,
the second in the spring,
the third in summer,
and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and
returned, he called them
together to describe what
they had seen
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The second son said it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
 sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever
                                    seen.
      The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and
              drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they
           had each seen only one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season.
   That the essence of who they are, and the pleasure, joy, and love that
come from that life, can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons
                                  are up.
If you give up when it's winter,
 you will miss the promise of your
spring, the beauty of your summer,
   And the fulfillment of your fall.
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
             Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches,
and better times are sure to come in time.
Aspire to Inspire….Before You Expire
Live Simply. Love Generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly.
                And leave the rest to God.
Happiness keeps You Sweet,
  Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human
Failures keep You Humble
Success keeps You Growing,
But Only God keeps You Going
Take care and be safe for me.
Seasons of life
God Bless you and keep you in his care
  through all the seasons of your life!
