Everything Happens For a Reason...




Once upon a time, there was a King who loved to hunt.

One day whilst hunting, the king shot a wild leopard.

The king ran towards it to see if it was dead or not, when suddenly the nearly dead leopard jumped up and attacked the king.

The chief servant managed to kill the leopard but couldn’t prevent his majesty from losing a finger.

Furious, the king said his servant, “If God was good, I would not have been attacked and I certainly wouldn’t have lost a finger!”

The servant replied, “Despite all of these things, I can only tell you that God is great and everything happens is for good. Everything God does is perfect and He is never wrong.”

Outraged by his response, the king asked the servant, “If I put you in prison, would you still think that is best for you?”

The servant without fear, humbly replied, “Yes my Lord! I would still think that is the best arrangement for me.”

The now enraged king ordered that the servant be imprisoned at once.

Three months later, the king and another servant left for another hunt and were captured by tribe’s people who required a human sacrifice.

On the alter, the desperate king watched as his servant was killed in front of his eyes.

But, all of a sudden tribe’s people discovered that the king was missing a finger and so they released him.
They now considered him to be “incomplete” and so couldn’t be offered to their Gods.

On returning to his palace, the king authorized the release of his chief servant who was imprisoned.

He went to him and humbly said,” My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed, but due to my missing finger I was released.”

“However, I have a question?” the king continued, “If God is so good, why did He allowed me to put you in prison?”

The servant wisely replied, “My Lord, had I not been in prison I would have been with you and would have been sacrificed since I have no missing finger.”

The king laughed and said,” That’s correct! Everything does happen for a reason.”

Our lives are full of ups and down.

When things do not turn out how you want, do not lose your love for life, your faith or your belief in the future.

As long as we are good people, good things will one day follow.

Be calm, be patient and stay positive...

The hardship of today are preparing you for the light of tomorrow.

The King and his Four wives...

Once upon a time there was a king who had four wives. He loved all of them but the fourth wife was the one that he adored the most. He provided her with the best things and always adorned her with the finest delicacies. His third wife was very beautiful and he loved to show her off to neighboring kingdoms. The second wife was very kind, patient and considerate. Whenever the king faced some problems with decision he would go to her and she would help him get through that decision. The first wife was a very loyal partner and made contribution in maintaining Kings Health and wealth but the king was very ignorant towards her. He hardly took notice of her. One day the king fell ill and he realized that he is going to die soon. He thought, “I now have four wives with me, but when I die I’ll be alone.” He called his fourth wife and asked, “I loved you most, I provided you most of the things you asked. When I die, will you follow me to keep me compan...

Stop Hatred

A school teacher noticed that her class was increasingly becoming a disjointed one. Quarrels and fights were increasing by the day. There was no team work. The students had stopped playing and working with the same fervor and spirit. Mutual dislike and hatred was palpable in the air. To put an end to this, she decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each student in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the student hates, so the number of potatoes that a student puts in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates. So, when the day came, every student brought some potatoes with the names of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week. Day after day passed by, and the childre...

Be Happy with what You have...!!

Once a sage was passing through the capital city of the famous king. While he was walking, he noticed a single currency coin on the road. He picked it up. He was satisfied with his simple living and he had no use of that coin. So, he planned to donate it to the one who is in need of it. He strolled around the streets throughout the day but didn’t find anyone such. Finally, he reached the rest area and spent a night there. Next morning, he wakes up for his daily activities and sees that the king is going for his invasion of another state with his war ready army. When the king saw the sage standing, he ordered his army to be stopped. He came to the sage and said, “Oh great sage, I am going to war to win another state so that my state can be expanded. So bless me to be victorious.” After thinking, sage gave a single currency coin to the king! T he king was confused and annoyed with this because what use he has for a single coin while he ...
