survive the night

A father takes his son into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him
alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the
blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it.  He cannot
cry out for help to anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He
cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each

lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified.

He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him .

Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth,

and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold.

It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally,

after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.

It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    

He had been at watch the entire
night, protecting his son from harm.    

 

We, too, are never alone.    

Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us,

Sitting on the stump beside us.    

When trouble comes, all we have to do  is reach out to Him.

(u never know who might need it,I did).

 

Moral of the story:

Just because you can't see God,

doesn't mean He is not there.

"For we walk by faith, not by sight"
"Tune out the nay-sayers, silence your doubts,

start speaking words of faith and

move in God's  direction."
