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.

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!

MORAL :
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:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less from people but more from yourself.

*TURN ON THE LIGHT FOR OTHERS TO SEE*

"One day I visited a friend of mine, who is blind. And it happened to be during the Evening, he did something that taught me a lot.
Upon entering the house, Thomas switched on the light.
And I asked him "Thomas, why did you put on the light yet you can't see?"...Thomas laughed for a long time, switched off the light and went to the kitchen, after a short while he came with a pot of tea and eggs, placed them perfectly well on the table and switched on the light again
What Thomas said made me shed tears because he said to me, Gift ! ...... I did not put on the light for my own sake or because I needed it, I did it for you because you needed it since you are not blind like me".
Then he asked me, "Gift !! *How many times have you switched off the light for other people and denied them an opportunity to see light just because you yourself do not need it?"*. I thought about that so deeply
I ask you the same question today, *How many times have you put off your lights and denied others an opportunity to see the light while they are in darkness*???
Why would you let your accounts grow to millions while your brother's child is going barefooted?
Why would you put clothes you don't wear in the bin while someone out there is almost going naked?
Why would food rot in your house while there is someone out there sleeping hungry?
Why will you see a business opportunity and hide it without sharing with your friends when you know you wont use it?
Why will you be in a position to help someone get promotion or a new job and you keep it because the person is not from your family, tribe or religion?
Why will you defame your brother or sister just because you don't want someone to help them?
*Each of The Questions Above Is Equivalent To Switching Off The Light!*.
These are the things we should be mindful of as Human.
Let start focusing on what pleases Our Creator And Humanity. *This is true religion, helping the needy and being there for those who do not have a voice.*

*Please Turn On The Lights You've Switched Off!*

*You and me are the light of the world"*

a blessed Sunday.
