Philippians 4:13-“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

WHAT’S TROUBLIN’ YA?

A college educated professor had a passion for restoring older buildings, especially if they were on farm land. He purchased one such building on a long deserted farm and began the task of restoration. He hired a plumber to help with this project. On the plumber’s way to the worksite for his first day of work, a tire on his truck had gone flat; his electric drill quit before noon; and then, after a day’s work, his ancient one ton truck refused to start.

So, the professor offered to drive the plumber home. He(the plumber) sat in stony silence on the trip home. On arriving, the plumber invited the professor to meet his family. As they walked toward the front door, the plumber paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.

When he opened 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 the professor to the car. They passed the tree and the professor’s curiosity got the better of him. He asked the plumber about what had happened earlier when the plumber had touched the tree branches.
