Nothing Is Impossible

My husband was digging under yet another enormous tree stump and cutting roots. I was pulling out the roots as he cut them. One smallish root seemed to be unusually heavy and was very difficult to pull, even with both of us pulling together.

A bit more digging and we found out why. Somehow as this root had grown, it had tunneled right through a very solid rock.

What great visual proof that with time and perseverance, nothing is impossible!

    This is exactly the message I needed! I am stripping wallpaper in a 20 by 25 room. At my age, my knees have just about given out and it is very slow going. All those trips up and down a ladder!
    Thank you, Shirley, for being the messenger. Everything IS possible.

    Amazing photo and a startling reminder that perseverance can produce amazing results. I have to echo the sentiment in the other comments, I’m in a difficult situation and I needed this reminder right now. You have my heartfelt thanks for making me stop and evaluate my situation.

    Just like the little engine that could, all those years that little root just kept chanting, “i think i can, i think i can”….and he did.

    Can I find a new job? Can a root grow through a rock? Great visual for me – thanks!
