Read...Listen to the Whole story...

Today, one of my fellow practitioners posted a story that was a lesson. It was a must share. Two of my former colleagues read the post and talked with each other through posting. One person said to the other person that the whole story had to be read and that there was a lesson for all. Apparently, the other person read it through and shared the story.

Sometimes we judge people or  circumstances without reading or listening to the whole story.

Also, it came to mind that when we pray, sometimes, we throw in the towel too soon.

Meditation: contemplate on, I pray believing that I already have what I desire. God does the work and I do my part having faith, waiting and being patient. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths. Go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran

A Great Lesson...Read...you won't be sorry!

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL : Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

 Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from yourself. You have two choices... smile and close this page, or pass this along to someone else to share the lesson .
