When I was growing up. I had an old neighbor named Dr, Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never 36 at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone nice and 37 .
When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving 38 , he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres(英亩), and his life’s 39 was to make it a forest.
But he 40 watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants would 41 them, and that 42 you water them, each following 43 of tree will grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things 44 for them.
He’d planted an oak, and instead of watering it every morning, he’d 45 it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to cause the tree’s 46 .
Dr. Gibbs went away a couple of years ago. 47 , I walk by his house and look at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re big and 48 now. Sufferings seemed to 49 them in ways ease and 50 never could ways.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be 51 . But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to 52 my prayer, because life is 53 , whether we want it to be or not. Too many times we pray for ease. But that’s what we seldom 54 . What we need to do is pray for roots that reach deep into the earth, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won’t be 55 .
