All about bamboo flooring

A sister sent me this through email.

THE FERN AND THE BAMBOO

One day I decided to quit … I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality. I wanted to quit my life.

I went to the woods to have one last talk with JEHOVAH.

"JEHOVAH,” I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me… "Look around", He said. "Do you see the FERN and the BAMBOO?"
"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the FERN and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor.”

“Yet nothing came from the BAMBOO seed. But I did not quit on the BAMBOO.”
“In the second year the FERN grew more vibrant and plentiful.
“And again, nothing came from the BAMBOO seed. But I did not quit on the BAMBOO.”

He said, "In the third year, there was still nothing from the BAMBOO seed. But I would not quit.0

In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the BAMBOO seed. But I would not quit.”
He said, "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the FERN it was seemingly small and insignificant. But just six months later the BAMBOO rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.”
“I would not give any of my creations a20challenge it could not handle."

JEHOVAH said to me, "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots. I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don’t compare yourself to others.”

He said, "The BAMBOO had a different purpose than the FERN, yet, they both make the forest beautiful."
"Your time will come," Jehovah said to me. "You will rise high!"

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the BAMBOO rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned.

"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and brought back this story. I hope these words can help you see that JEHOVAH will never give up on you.

Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you HAPPINESS. Bad days give you EXPERIENCES. Both are essential to life.
Keep going … Happiness keeps you SWEET. Trials keep you STRONG. Sorrows keep you HUMAN. Failures keep you HUMBLE. Success keeps you GLOWING.

But only JEHOVAH keeps you GOING!

"A woman’s heart should be so hidden in JEHOVAH that a man has to seek HIM first to find her."

Above all things, have intense love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8 ) Mary F.

That really is a wonderful story! Beautiful! Very encouraging! We all spend so much time here witnessing to others it’s easy to forget about building each other up. When we’re out in service we teach others but we also strengthen one another. It’s good to do the same thing here! We all need all the encouragement we can get! Keep up the good work brothers and sisters! Jehoavh will NEVER forget us!
