Spiritual Knights Recovery Story Treasure Chest

Once upon a time in a beautiful country there were two neighbors who lived several acres away from each
other and owned their own beautiful home's in comparisons. They even both bought and planted the same
unique flowering trees. These beautiful trees blossom flowers with rainbow colors all spring and during the
summer hot days. The two neighbors and even Their neighbors were very happily pleased with the flowering
trees, and they took the time and care to nourish these trees with plenty of water and fertilizer. And
later that year, a fierce winter came a long and everything became frozen. But as nature soon passed over
with the bright sun and warmth, it slowly brought spring back on its course and sadly the two neighbor's
trees did not bud.
One neighbor continued to water and fertilize his tree with human care and loving prayers. The other
neighbor felt robbed, cheated, and betrayed. He did not water his tree or fertilize it and nor did he pray for it.
He was angry that he did not have a warranty on his tree. "Why?" He asked with anger. "Why do you not
bud? Why did you do this to me? You once was beautiful and now your are sick. You are no longer of good
to me. I don't understand. Last year you blossom beautiful flowers and now you show me your sicken
sticks."
The angry neighbor's friends and family would come over to his house making fun of the dead tree and
made statements as, "Cut it down. It is no good. Take it back for it's a defect. It is the ugliest thing we have
ever seen. "
The angry neighbor heard enough. He walked into his garage and came back and cut down the tree and
threw it into the fire pit and watched it burn as he shouted, "Burn! Burn in hell!"
The rest of the year the angry neighbor watched his neighbor continue to water, fertilize, kneel, and pray for
his sicken tree to become alive and bud. He laughed, "he's an idiot. He is out there watering and praying
for a dead tree. "
The next year came along with a new beautiful spring. The neighbor who did not give up on his sicken
tree and choose to pray for it had awaken from a deep nightly sleep. He looked out of his window and
shouted out with happiness and glory, "Thank you God for touching this beautiful tree. For it was once
dead but you have touched it and gave it life. Look at those beautiful coloring flowers glow to the heavens.
Our tree is a live. Thank you, God. It is the most beautiful tree for the world to see." He opened his window
and smelled a scent of humbleness, serene, and wisdom.
Thought: Sometimes as human beings we can fall ill and make horrible mistakes and for our fate is in
the hands of those who are servants and those who has faith in God. There will be some love ones who will
resentfully give up on you and there will be some who will pray for you and nourish you with love and
compassion. God can heal all things and like the tree you will become alive with joy, a new beginning with
happiness, and a glow of humbleness. For those who are lost and walk in the dead but spiritually found and
separated from your love ones due to your illness, addictions, or terrible mistakes, God will provide you with
his love, touch, nourishment, and he shall guide you and your family into the heavens... For you shall not be
alone.
God bless you!!
