These branches and limbs are all of the same tree, which is on the grounds of an historic house in Lancaster. The house is in extremely poor condition, and located on what has become a very busy road. I got the sense that the house just didn't want to be there anymore, and that the tree shared the same feeling and decided many years ago to give up growing.
Do I have what it takes to give up the desires which I have buried deep inside my heart? Can I truly say that I will be happy giving them up just to follow my Lord?
The one thing that I've always prayed long and hard for is the chance to find true love and spend the rest of my life with the man who God designed to be mine. What if God calls me to give up that dream?
Can I give it up? Other things are nowhere near as precious as that. I've designed my entire life and all that I do in anticipation of marriage.
What if God asks me to give up marriage in order to follow his plan for my life?
Can I do it?
When I first started thinking about this, I was distraught. I had no idea why such a thought would cross my mind. I was downright upset.
What are you trying to say, God? Are you telling me that I'm not going to experience the joy of growing old in the arms of a loving husband?
Will I never be able to start a family of my own flesh and blood?
The thought of having to give up my heart's desire, which I have clung to for my entire life, really hurts me.
I don't know whether one day God will call me to give it up. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe I desire marriage so much because God has made my heart for that.
But if I am called to give it up, I honestly see no other option. I have to give it up. I just pray that I will have the strength and that the pain will not last too long.
True surrender calls for some amount of sacrifice. So, Lord, I give to you every dream and desire within me.
I give it up. There is no way I'm saying no to you, so go ahead with your plans for me. Go ahead.
Once he leads me somewhere, he has already made provision for whatever needs I have while walking with him.
So why worry?
On A beautiful day I took some toy knights left over from a party out to the woods to play with focal points. The warriors fought over a hunk of rock.
When you have the courage to give all up, then you have reached that place...

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).

This is sad, but not as sad as someone discovering a little one in a dumpster or trashcan somewhere, often after it's too late.

It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?
