Nature really has some interesting sites that one can learn lessons from. As I was biking along I came across this tree growing on the side of the road. It was beautiful and green from the distance. As I rode closer to it I could see that its root system has been undermined by small borrowing animals, yet it was struggling to live.

The home of these small animals at the foot of this tree , I am sure is a great trial to the tree but it has not given up. In our lives we need to be like this tree and endure our struggles well, even when they seem over whelming.
