Brother Bartholomew and the Apple Grove

This taught a lesson and had a little magic touch with it, as well. The stories based around Monks and Monasteries always make me think that there is a higher power always playing a part in the things that happen in life. This story about Brother Bartholomew was, as I mentioned teaching a lesson, and made me think about what I need to do with my children. What someone else might think is wrong and not functioning for the purpose of what it is there for could truly have a deeper meaning. I found myself thinking about this since my husband is a hunter, but we have respect for the animals as well. We both instill the reason for hunting and its not just for fun, but for a purpose of feeding us and treating that animal with the same respect show more after it has been hunted. I thought it was also a trust your elders story. Sometimes those elders do know better than a younger person. Just gave me a thinking perspective and looking at what I tell my kids or my husband. show less
