Hello! I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Sound Flave (Radiae Applis). Did you get your apples picked? Climate change can have an impact on apples. It can cause an early bloom and can have an affect on the taste of an apple. You’re lucky if the tree is not damaged altogether. Climate change can make you work even harder. Sometimes it’s not easy taking care of the fruit.

I’d like to tell a story. The title of the story is “The Giving Tree”. There was an apple tree that fed many. One day HE was cut down, and it hurt the hearts of many.

And there was a voice in the wind saying, “I will be again and stand until the earth pass away. Other roots will grow. I AM the root and parent tree and will bare fruit.” And that’s what the apple tree did that was cut down.

When the people saw another little tree sproughting out from the stump of the tree (the parent tree), the people rejoiced and had great faith and hope. The people dug up some of the little trees around the parent tree (the stump) planted and neglected near an old barn. They replanted some of the little trees, and when they grew to bare apples, the neighbors shared with those that had none. The trees that were replanted began to grow other little trees, and they were dug up and given to those that had none.

And there was a voice in the wind again saying, “I will bare fruit for you always.”

You see, a good thing came to those that shared which was a blessing for all. The blessing was sent down from heaven up above.
