A Multigenerational Object Lesson

I love Voddie's example of shade trees, "Kids, you must seek to become the kind of people who plant shade trees for others to sit under." Much too often I want the shade now, which is quite a selfish concept. Instead I/we need to embrace the fact that somebody needs to plant those trees, the trees that generations of people will sit under for years to come. I'm the type of person that loves the perfect manicured yard but hates all the work the that it takes to get it there. But to have a multigenterational vision I need to keep the weeds pulled, mow my lawn, and plant those trees for future generations to come.
