Reflections - Are You Also Among Them - Food For Thought
One night, just before the shopkeeper closed for the day, a dog came into the shop.
There was a bag in its mouth. The bag had a list of items to be bought and money.
The shopkeeper took the money and kept the items in the bag.
Immediately, The dog picked up the bag of items and left.
The shopkeeper was surprised and went behind the dog to see who the owner was.
The dog waited at the bus stop. After sometime, a bus came and the dog got into the bus. As soon as the conductor came, it moved forward to show his neck belt which had money and the address as well.
The conductor took the money and put the ticket in his neck belt again.
When it reached the destination, the dog went to the front and wagged his tail indicating that he wanted to get down.
The moment the bus stopped, it got down.
The shopkeeper was still following it.
The dog knocked on the door of a house with its legs. Its owner came from inside and beat it with a stick.
The shocked shopkeeper asked him "why are you beating the dog?", to which the owner replied, "he disturbed my sleep. It could have taken the keys with it."
Moral of the story :
This is the truth of life. There is no end to the expectations people have from you.
The moment you go wrong, they start pointing at our mistakes.
All the good done in the past are quickly forgotten.
Any small mistake committed then gets magnified.
This is the nature of this material world!
Be differentBe different my friend, at every moment and situations, just reflect what will Jesus do or say and act likewise.
