Hang Up Your Troubles


Meshach hired a carpenter to help  restore his old farmhouse.This carpenter had just finished a rough day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work earlier in the day. His electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start. While Meshach drove the carpenter to his home, he sat in the car silently.

On arriving at his house he invited Meshach  to meet his family. As they walked toward the front door of his house, The Carpenter paused briefly at a tall tree,which is on the side of driveway.He  touched the tips of the branches with both hands,and whispered gently. Then He continued to the Front door of his house and knocked and when his wife open the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed with smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. it looked one happy family.

Afterward he walked Meshach to the car. They passed the tree and meshach was curious and  asked the carpenter  about what he has seen him do earlier. "Oh, that's my trouble tree" The carpenter  replied. "I know that I can't help having troubles on the job, and through the day but one thing's for sure. Troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and children.

So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I get home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. "Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

Christ has given us all a tree to hang up our troubles-"The Cross"

All you have to do is at the end of your day "Pause" think of "The Cross" and hang up all your troubles before you enter your house and remember to think of "The same Cross" before you "Start" your day in the morning.

Come to The Cross and Hang up all your troubles

And your heart will always overflows with  Bubbles of Joy.
 

Have a Happy day
