The story of a pregnant deer

In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong flowing river. This seems a safe place. Suddenly labour pains begin. At the same moment,dark clouds gather around above and lightening starts a forest fire. She looks to her left and sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her. To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her. What can the pregnant deer do? She is in labour! What will happen? Will the deer survive? Will she give birth to a fawn? Will the fawn survive? Or will everything be burnt by the forest fire? Will she perish to the hunter's arrow? Will she die a horrible death at the hands of the hungry lion approaching her?                                                               I shall continue tomorrow...Thanks for reading                                                                                         The sequence of events that follows are!                                                                             


 Lightening strikes and blinds the hunter          He releases the arrow which zips past the deer and strikes the hungry lion.                                     It starts to rain heavily, and the forest fire is slowly doused.                                                       The deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.                                                                        

In our life too, there are moments of choice when we are confronted on all sides with negative thoughts and impossibilities. Some thoughts are so powerful that they overcome us and overwhelm us. May be we can learn from the deer. The priority of the deer, in that given moment, was simply to give birth to a baby. The rest was not in her hands and any action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster. Ask yourself , where is your focus? Where is your faith and hope? In the midst of any storm, do keep faith on creator always. He will never ever disappoint you. NEVER                                              Remember, He neither sleep nor slumber!!!      Strong person knows how to keep her life in order. Even with tears in her eyes, she still manages to say 'I am okay with a smile'. I write this because you are strong people. That was why God heard your prayers. God be with you.
