ONCE, all villagers decided to pray for rain, on the day of prayer all the people gathered but only one boy came with an umbrella.
That’s FAITH
Grown-ups always need logic or reason to believe yet things can still go wrong. But little children live a happy life with wonder in their eyes and without care for the outcomes.
“Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe” ~ Voltaire
Have a good day my friends 🙂

Yup, and because grownups know about disappointments from great expectations. We need to limit ourselves from that fear, otherwise we won’t believe. Nice short and sweet post.

Nicely put Rommel. So it’s best to minimise our expectations and be content with whatever is the outcome.
Thanks and good to see you after long. Must say hello to your blog and read some interesting articles 😉😉

So true! And I pray that I don’t lose that childlike innocence. We have to be wary of things, but some things are meant to be experienced and seen through the eyes of an unsuspecting child. 🙂 Wonderful reminder and quote!

Sheth that’s a lovely response. Yes things do look so sweet and wonderful when you see them through a child’s eye. If we can do this often it could become a Mantra to ‘let go’ of things that trouble us.
Thank you my f

The other day I was reading some short short stories and this was one of them which I liked the most and you have so nicely put across. Stories can be written in one and two lines not necessarily in thousands of words. Brevity and message that makes all the difference in storytelling. After it is an art and it comes with practice. The picture tells its all and when combined with such brilliant words, it counts…
Hope you are having a lovely Sunday. Thanks for sharing…
