Be humble and you will never stumble
The dove said, "When the sick bird hears this he will get disheartened. Could you suggest any solution for this". The angel replied, " Tell him to recite the verse "Thank you God for everything." The dove on meeting the sick bird again delivered the message of the angel to it.
After seven days the dove was passing again passing by and saw the bird was very happy, feathers grew on his body, a small pond of water was also there, the bird was singing and dancing cheerfully. The dove was astonished as to how it had happened. The Angel had said that there would be no happiness for the bird for the next seven years. With this question in mind the dove went to visit the angel at heaven's gate.
The dove put forth his query to the Angel. the Angel replied, "Yes it is true there was no happiness for the bird for seven years but because the bird was reciting the verse "Thank you God for everything" in every situation, his situation changed.
There was a bird who lived in a desert, very sick, no feathers, nothing to eat and drink, no shelter to live in and who kept on cursing his life day and night. One day a dove was passing by, so sick unhappy bird stopped the dove and inquired "where are you going?" it replied "I am going to heaven".
So the sick bird said "please find out for me, when my suffering will come to an end?" the dove said, " sure, I will" and bid a good bye to the sick bird. The dove reached heaven and shared the message of the sick bird with the angel in charge at the entrance gate. The dove told the angel the pathetic condition of the sick bird and inquired when the suffering of the sick bird was going to end? The angel replied, "For the next seven years the bird has to suffer like this, no happiness till then".
When the bird fell down in the hot said it said "Thank you God for everything". Whatever the situation the bird kept on repeating and therefore the seven years got dissolved in seven days.
When I heard this story I felt a tremendous shift in my way of feeling, thinking, accepting and viewing life. Just adopted the verse "Thank you God for everything". The purpose of sharing this message is to make all of us aware of how powerful the attitude of gratitude is. It can reshape our lives.
Be grateful and see the change in your attitude. Be humble and you will never stumble.
