The Hares And The Frogs
Men, dogs, birds and beasts of prey were all their enemies, and killed and devoured them daily: and sooner than endure such persecution any longer, they one and all determined to end their miserable lives.
Thus resolved and desperate, they rushed in a body towards a neighbouring pool, intending to drown themselves. On the bank were sitting a number of Frogs, who, when they heard the noise of the Hares as they ran, with one accord leaped into the water and hid themselves in the depths.
Then one of the older Hares who was wiser than the rest cried out to his companions, "Stop, my friends, take heart; don't let us destroy ourselves after all: see, here are creatures who are afraid of us, and who must, therefore, be still more timid than ourselves."
Sometimes we think we are the least significant person on earth...and we used to say "kawawa naman ako" or "buti pa sila...We are so overwhelmed with problems that we fail to see the other side of it...Yes,you may experienced being so downed...no self confidence..felt abandoned by everyone..or even asked, "why me,Lord?" How about seeing the bright side of it- instead of questioning and doubting God's plan for you...ask yourself, "what did God wants me to learn out of this situation?" No one is exempted from the trials of life. God feels your pain. He knows all your desires...Problems come and go...Pains and blessing always come together. Be thankful for everything- the good things and the bad things, because they both mold you to a better person. It is like saying, "no pain=no gain". Learn to trust God and not to question His "wonderful plans" for you. Count your blessings...stop complaining...Focus on yourself- on the things you "have", and on things you "can" do! Natatandaan ko pa yung kasabihan nung bata pa ako...Do your best, and God will do the rest!God is always in control-only if you let Him be the "driver" of your life! Ang sabi nga sa Bibliya....The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you." (Psalm 32:8 NLT)
I am sure there are so many things you should be thankful for,only if you look at the bright side!
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
—1 Corinthians 10:13
The Hares once gathered together and lamented the unhappiness of their lot, exposed as they were to dangers on all sides and lacking the strength and the courage to hold their own.
Men, dogs, birds and beasts of prey were all their enemies, and killed and devoured them daily: and sooner than endure such persecution any longer, they one and all determined to end their miserable lives.
Thus resolved and desperate, they rushed in a body towards a neighbouring pool, intending to drown themselves. On the bank were sitting a number of Frogs, who, when they heard the noise of the Hares as they ran, with one accord leaped into the water and hid themselves in the depths.
Then one of the older Hares who was wiser than the rest cried out to his companions, "Stop, my friends, take heart; don't let us destroy ourselves after all: see, here are creatures who are afraid of us, and who must, therefore, be still more timid than ourselves."
