So, I'm sure you all know or at least know of Shel Silverstein. I've used him in multiple Happies already so if you've been checking in for your daily smile then you should know him quite well by now ;) Well, today I will be sharing with you another one of my all time favorite stories which is written by none other than Shel Silverstein! I bet you had no idea I was going to say that did you ;D
As a kid, I read a lot of Shel Silverstein. I always felt so happy and content whenever I read his books, whether it was because of something that was just so very silly or something that was deep and heartfelt. But of all his works - my favorite will always be The Giving Tree. The love that the Tree had for the Boy is just so incredible... When I was younger I used to think how amazing that tree was and how sweet it was how she loved that boy! Once I had my son, I read this story in a brand new light. It finally clicked with me exactly what my parents meant when they tried to explain their love for us. And this "I will love you forever without question no matter what!" love is just a sample of the love God has for us!!! Isn't that just so awesome to think about?!?!
Anyways, as I was searching for a video to share of this story with you, I came across this fantastic claymation video. They did great justice with this video - from the background scenery to the narrator! So, without further ado - here's The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein:
I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did - remember, we are all loved this much ... even if we don't know it yet! I love you all - have a great rest of your day! Until tomorrow, keep smiling and spreading that love!!
Peace, Love and Happiness!
