The Oak and The Willow
There is an old fable in which the mighty oak tree which stood forover
one hundred years finally was blown over by a storm. The treefeel into
a river that floated it downstream until it came to restamong the reeds
growing along the riverbank.
The fallen giant askedthe reeds in amazement, "How is it that you were
able to weatherthe storm that was too powerful for me, an oak tree, to
withstand?"The reeds replied, "All these years you stubbornly resisted
the windsthat swept your way. You took such pride in your strength that
yourefused to yield, even a little bit. We, on the other hand, havenot
resisted the winds, but have always bent with them. We recognizedthe
superior power of the wind and so, the harder the wind blew themore we
humbled ourselves before it."
“ For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth
himself shall be exalted. (Luk 14:11 )”.
