SMART DONKEY STORY

“ 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 neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to dig the 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 mintutes after digging 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 neighbours 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 of the story is:

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of worries and troubles.

The trick is in getting out of the well ie; is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest worry just by not stopping, we need to give a PAUSE understand and unveil our Strength packets and never giving up!

Just need to know our true SELF and Shake it off and take a step up.

Trust...

A man just got married and was returning
home with his wife. They were crossing a lake in
a boat when suddenly a great storm arose. The
man was a warrior, but the woman became very
much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless
-- THE BOAT WAS SMALL AND THE STORM
WAS REALLY HUGE, AND ANY MOMENT THEY
WERE GOING TO BE DROWNED. But the man sat
silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was
happening.
The woman was trembling and she said, "Are
you not afraid? This may be our last moment of
life! IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT WE WILL BE ABLE
TO REACH THE OTHER SHORE. Only some
miracle can save us, otherwise death is certain.
Are you not afraid? Are you mad or something?
Are you a stone or something?"
THE MAN LAUGHED AND TOOK THE SWORD
OUT OF ITS SHEATH. The woman was even
more puzzled -- what he is doing? Then he
brought the naked sword close to the woman's
neck -- so close that just a small gap was there,
it was almost touching her neck.
He said, "ARE YOU AFRAID?"
She started to giggle and laugh and said, "WHY
SHOULD I BE AFRAID? If the sword is in your
hands, why should I be afraid? I know you love
me."
He put the sword back and said, "This is my
answer. I know God loves me, and the sword is
in His hands, and the storm is in His hands --
so WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS
GOING TO BE GOOD. If we survive, good; if we
don't survive, good -- because EVERYTHING IS
IN HIS HANDS, AND HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING
WRONG."
This is the trust one needs to imbibe. SUCH
TREMENDOUS TRUST IS CAPABLE OF
TRANSFORMING YOUR WHOLE LIFE! And ONLY
such tremendous trust is capable of
transforming your life -- less than that won't
do."
