Underneath the Apple Tree

He was walking in an apple orchard…in itself a beautiful sight to see when he stopped to rest a moment…underneath an apple tree. It was apple picking season…the aroma of apples wafted in the air. The branches bent under the weight of apples everywhere. He was captivated sitting there…wondering how this could possibly be How could every apple be unique, and beautiful yet come from the same tree. No two apples were the same although all were similarly grown… they came in different sizes, shapes and colors but each had a beauty all its own. And he thought how humans are like the apples hanging from this tree… How all growing together we are a beautiful sight to see.. How no two humans are the same although we all are similarly grown… How we come in different sizes, shapes and colors but each one of us has beauty all our own. And with hope in his heart he awaits the day for what a great day it will be when the whole world can see what he saw underneath that apple tree.
