Signs

So, I heard this story & thought this relates to my life in so many ways! the author is unknown to me but wanted to share:

My life has been filled with so many storms

but this storm strikes my heart…….

There once was a man

that was caught in a storm

& he thought to himself

“God will save me!”

just as the storm started a Sleigh came to him & he politely refused

Saying” God will save me!” & away went the sleigh with a slow pace in the breeze

& the storm slowly got stronger and the snow came to the man’s knees

as he looked up and some time had passed,

here comes the sliegh with the intent to help the man & bring him to rest

& again very politely the Man refused stating, “I know God will saved me!”

the sleigh went into the night slipping away with no reprieve

Again, the storm picked up and was not relenting at all

The man was covered with snow all the way to his chest

& again, slowly approaching was the sliegh to take the man so he could rest

Of course without hesitation the man Politely refused saying, “Don’t worry I know God will save me!”

and the sligh wisked away and not very much later in the freezing cold the man drifted off to sleep

The poor man passed away in the snow, in that sad freezing grave

At the gates to enter Heaven the man came upon the lord

& he simply said, I had faith and sadly you didn’t save me

May I ask why”

Our Peaceful Lord and Savior simply said

I sent the sliegh for you 3 times and you always refused!

I gave you the opportunity and you didn’t see the sign

If I ever send you back maybe you will see the gift that is given

and not give into your pride

The Lord smiled and simply said,

“Sometimes my children miss my signs and rotate in purgatory until they recognize”

The Moral is clear: and I have added my own little pieces

because my life fits in so many ways
