A classic folktale of three trees: a beautiful olive tree, a knotty oak tree and a strong pine tree.  Each tree dreams of becoming great and are disappointed when their dreams don’t seem to come true.  They learn that God has a special purpose for each of them as they interact with Jesus Christ in His birth, ministry and ultimate sacrifice.
