Growing roots Ks5u

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr.Gibbs.He didn’t look like any doctor I’d   31   known.When Dr.Gibbs wasn’t   32   lives, he was planting trees. Ks5u

The good doctor had some   33  theories on planting trees. He believed in “No pains, no gains”.He never  34   his new trees, which was  35  many people.Once I asked why.He __36  that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you water them, each following tree generation will   37   weaker and weaker.So you have to make things   38   for them.He talked about how watering trees  39  shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in  40  of water. I came to understand that he meant deep roots were to be___41  .I planted a couple of trees a few years back and I took good care of them.Two years of __42__  has resulted in trees that expect to be waited on hand and foot.Whenever a cold wind blows, they  43  and tremble their branches. Funny things about those trees of Dr.Gibbs’.The lack of water seemed to  44  them in ways comfort and ease never could. Ks5u

I used to  45  for my sons that their lives will be easy. But  46   I’ve been thinking that it’s time to   47  my prayer.I know my children are going to meet   _48  , and I’m praying they will be strong. The prayer for comfort is seldom met.What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, __49_ when the winds blow, we won’t be  50  away. Ks5u
