Obstacles On Our Path!!!
In ancient times, a King
had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.
Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone
out of the way.
Then a poor farmer came
along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the he laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded After the farmer picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed
a purse lying in the road
where the boulder had been.
The purse contained many
gold coins and a note from
the King indicating that the gold was for the person
who removed the boulder
from the roadway.
Thoughtful Reflections:-
Between the great things we cannot do and the small things we will not do, the danger is that we shall do nothing.
Adolph Monod
The farmer learned what many others never understand,
that every obstacle, every single crisis, the storms in
life and all experiences of adversity present an opportunity for growth.
In life, we are presented with similar obstacles. Whether
we blame someone for it and complain about it or like the farmer we take responsibility for it is a matter of choice.
If we are wise and take up responsibility for the obstacles presented to us, we are sure
To “find gold” once
the obstacle is gone!
& Your Friends the Way He Has Blessed Us.
