心に響く、、良いお話

今日は台風の影響で一日中雨、、、本当に久しぶりの雨だ、、、。山荘の周りの森の樹が水を吸って生き返っているようだ。自然の恵みの水だ。

考えさせられる文章に出会った。なるほどね、、


The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly to be rescued, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.

Then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stung with grief and anger.

"God, how could you do this to me!" he cried and complained.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ships horn that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.

"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

This is reminding you to never forget that many blessings come in disguises. Often they show up as uncomfortable or even dangerous and painful situations. And often only later, sometimes decades later, does the true purpose of something revealed. May you all be blessed with revealed blessings.

幸運は姿を変えてやってくる事を忘れないで欲しい。時には不愉快で、危険で、苦痛な
状態でやってくるかもしれない。でも、後に、もしくは、数十年後にその本当の真の目的が
明らかにされるでしょう。　明かされた幸運に幸あれ、、！！
