An apple tree is sometimes like our life. When we are young, we are cared for by our parents, it takes time, patience, and waiting to see the fruits of your labor to produce fruits of its own. It is a rewarding task to see this all come full circle. Although you could question a lot when after years of waiting for the fruit to go, eagerness to see the juicy red apples, still the tree comes up barren.
Sometimes in life we work so hard for things and wonder if all of our hard work will pay off. We wonder if all the time and energy that we have put into something will pay off...and then one day, when we least expect it, there is an abundant harvest! So, abundant that we wonder where it all come from. Then...we remember, all the hours of toil, blood, sweat and tears that were labored over the years of waiting, and now we see this all reflected in a beautiful fruit that we partake in! It makes all the hard work worthwhile. It makes all the years of patience and waiting a small part in the this accomplishment of life!
**This is in honor of the accomplishments of my brother!
On this day, we partake in the fruits of his labor! I love you, Ryan!**
