Jim & Tony, friends from high school (Holland Christian) & college (Calvin) bought some open land in Newaygo County during or shortly after college (1950's) and planned to turn it into a Christmas Tree farm. They cleared the land, planted seeds or saplings, and by the time I visited the land this empty space was FULL of trees ! The only problem is they never harvested it. Today, it is FILLED with pine trees. Lots of deer too. But so far, none of the trees have become Christmas trees as far as I know.
KEEP the FAITH I! it's about FAITH, ABOUT GOD, JESUS, HOLY SPIRIT, LOVE ..peace, joy, kindness, care, happiness.. about doing what's right.. treating others better than yourself, about servant leadership, .. it's about hoping for the best from others, even when we live in a world with too much anger and mistreatment of others.. KEEP HOPING for the BEST from others..and DO UNTO OTHERS AS u would HOPE they do UNTO U..
