A Visit to the P.L.O.M. Tree

Yes today I thought I would take a walk down to the ole P.L.O.M. tree. Yes you know the one, the old tree we all like to visit once in awhile. That good ole P.L.O.M. Tree, you know the Poor Little Ole Me Tree. Yep that`s the one. I was just stewing on how I just seem to have that Christmas spirit and I don`t really see it, coupled with that I`m not finding the job I want for the wages I want. When I ran into my own little version of `I complained of having no shoes, until I met a man with no feet`. I met this guy who I used to work with; well no exactly he delivers supplies to where I used to work. Well we get to talking, And I tell him what`s going on for me. Then he proceeds to tell me about his life in the past week. Well let`s see, he starts with last Wednesday, His cat that he and his family (wife and kids) have had for 12 years has diabetes, well last Wednesday the family cat went into a diabetic coma. They took him to the vet; the vet could not do anything so they had to put the family cat of 12 years to sleep. Now you’re saying, OOHH that`s sad, yet not really that bad, he has a job, a house and family. ` Hold on now we just started. Well Thursday the smoke alarms goes and a couple of the outlets in the house spark and blow out. Well it seems that a circuit in the electrical panel has fried out and blown out 2 or 3 outlets they all have to replace as well as the electrical panel and the wiring all checked. However we are not done yet, Friday night the furnace goes on the fritz, the furnace isn`t working and there is no heat, Well he finally gets a guy to come out and the motor on his furnace is gone. That`s not the best part yet this guy wants to be paid in cash, and after phoning around find a motor for the furnace, says it going to cost $200.00 for the motor, make a long story short the motor only cost $120.00 So all this stuff going on and then repair guy trying to stick it to you as well. Pretty great week he`s having, wouldn`t you say? Well hang on a minute, because on Sunday buddy goes to pick a few things up and, wham, a new driver on the phone takes a left turn right into the front end of my friends SUV. No word of a lie this is a true story. Well how`s that for a Merry Christmas? You know as he said all he could do was laugh, and say what ya going to do É So how bad is your life after all.
Remember God does not make garbage
