The emotions that you related as you waited on your Dad 'to save the tree from falling' speak to the dilemma of so many. It is common to live in anguish and anticipation while remaining aloof to the Father who would deliver them from their distress.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you the best of God's blessings in 2009!<BR/><BR/>Joyfully Serving,<BR/><BR/>Kermitthe_thinking_froghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09857498152984728449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155540725617866646.post-87459060666511893362008-12-23T17:35:00.000-08:002008-12-23T17:35:00.000-08:00'In case you were curious how it all turned out, Dad came in pretty quickly and was puzzled and amuzed to see the predicament I had gotten myself into. He took that big tree off my hands and straightened it, as only he knew how. I was so relieved that he was there to help me. He got me out of plenty other rough spots, but those are stories for another time....'<BR/><BR/>A helpful Dad, and something I am thankful for as well.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas, Greg and family.<BR/><BR/>Russ:)thekingpin68http://www.blogger.com/profile/06703130625190233670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155540725617866646.post-48915286275806104442008-12-22T11:59:00.000-08:002008-12-22T11:59:00.000-08:00Praise God!<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas, Greg &amp; Farrah!<BR/><BR/>GGMGreat Googly Moogly!http://www.blogger.com/profile/13348645248449285718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155540725617866646.post-70640360006295892452008-12-21T09:10:00.000-08:002008-12-21T09:10:00.000-08:00Great story and what a neat object lesson!

I have rescued cats, kids and lizards from trees many times over the years.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas to you all.<BR/><BR/>larry E.Nitewrithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03968271056094267260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155540725617866646.post-20895176088373323312008-12-21T00:17:00.000-08:002008-12-21T00:17:00.000-08:00Good analogy Greg.<BR/> God set the example for Dads.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to probably be catching some calls tomorrow.
