BEING POSITIVE IN EACH CIRCUMSTANCE
I know a very special man. He’s a very positive farmer who is always happy. It doesn’t matter what life brings.
He has learned to be grateful. This makes him calm in all situations.
That wise man has met an unfortunate teenager. She was always unhappy. The farmer wanted to help her.
First, he needed to understand this teenage girl.
She lived in a ghetto. Nancy yearned for a better neighborhood. He said, »I understand you; it’s not easy. Let’s compare ourselves with many homeless people who don’t have anything…» Nancy was silent.
“My parents sometimes argue or even scream,” continued the teenager.
»I can feel your emotions,« replied the farmer, »Maybe we could sometimes remember children in divorced families. They are usually without one parent… A lot of children are orphans.«
“But I don’t have a single friend,” Nancy complained further.
»Listen to your heart and recognize who could be your friend,« suggested the joyful man.
He mentioned a recent meeting. It was a surprise.
‘On the street, a beggar approached me. He had serious health issues and slept outside. While talking to me, he was radiating a mysterious smile. I was amazed.’
The beggar-boy told me: »God is providing all that is needful for my life. He’s my best Friend and Protector. He always has a good plan for me. That’s all.«
After hearing this story, something changed in Nancy’s heart …
She knew there were hungry, ill, and mistreated people …
Nancy felt grateful, »This wonderful farmer is teaching me to be strong in difficult times.«
