MORAL OF THE DAY

 

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.

The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer

tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well

needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth

it to retrieve the donkey. [REMENBER…

He shows no Mercy, shall have judgement W/O Mercy;

Mercy triumphs OVER judgement! James 2:13]
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.

They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into

the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening

and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he
quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down

the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each

shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing

something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on

top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey

stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
*****
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.

The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off

and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone.

We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping,
never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.
Expect less

NOW... “The REST Of The STORY....”
The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had

tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and
the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.
 

MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

When you do something wrong and try to “cover
your ass,” it always comes back to bite you.
