A wonderful story :
"4 boy friends"...
Once upon a time there was a girl
who had four boyfriends.
She loved the 4th boyfriend the
most 'n adored him with rich
robes 'n treated him to the finest
of delicacies. She gave him
nothing but the best.
She also loved the 3rd boyfriend
very much 'n was always showing
him off to neighboring kingdoms.
However, she feared that one day
he would leave her for another.
She also loved her 2nd boyfriend.
He was her confidant 'n was
always kind, considerate 'n
patient with her. Whenever this
girl faced a problem, she could
confide in him, 'n he would help
her get through the difficult times.
The girls 1st boyfriend was a very
loyal partner 'n had made great
contributions in maintaining her
wealth 'n kingdom. However, she
d id not love the first boyfriend.
Although he loved her deeply, she
hardly took notice of him!
One day, the girl fell ill 'n she knew
her time was short. She thought
of her luxurious life 'n wondered,
I now have four boyfriends with
me, but when I die, I'll be all
alone.'
Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend,
'I loved you the most, endowed
you with the finest clothing 'n
showered great care over you.
Now that I'm dying, will you
follow me 'n keep me company?'
'No way!', replied the 4th
boyfriend, 'n he walked away
without another word..
His answer cut like a sharp knife
right into her heart.
The sad girl then asked the 3rd
boyfriend, 'I loved you all my life.
Now that I'm dying, will you
follow me 'n keep me company?'
'No!', replied the 3rd boyfriend.
'Life is too good! When you die,
I'm going to marry someone else!'
Her heart sank 'n turned cold.
She then asked the 2nd boyfriend,
'I have always
turned to you for help 'n you've
always been there for me.
When I die, will you follow me 'n
keep me company?'
'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this
time!', replied the 2nd boyfriend.
'At the very most, I can only walk
with you to your grave.'
His answer struck her like a bolt
of lightning, 'n the girl was
devastated.
Then a voice called out: 'I'll go
with you. I'll follow you no matter
where you go..'
The girl looked up, 'n there was
his first boyfriend. He was very
skinny as he suffered from
malnutrition 'n neglect.
Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I
should have taken much better
care of you when I had the
chance!'
In truth, you have 4 boyfriends in
your lives:
Your 4th boyfriend is your body.
No matter how much time 'n
effort you lavish in making it look
good, it will leave you when you
die.
Your 3rd boyfriend is your
possessions, status 'n
wealth.When you die, it will all go
to others.
Your 2nd boyfriend is your family
'n friends. No matter how much
they have been there for you, the
furthest they can stay by you is up
to the grave.
'n your 1st boyfriend is your Soul.
Often neglected in pursuit of
wealth, power 'n pleasures of the
world.
However, your Soul is the only
thing that will follow you where
ever you go.Cultivate, strengthen
'n cherish it now, for it is the only
part of you that will follow you to
the throne of God 'n continue
with you throughout Eternity.
Thought for the day:Remember,
when the world pushes you to
your knees,you're in the perfect
position to pray.
Pass this on to someone you care
about - I just did.
Being happy doesn't mean
everything's perfect. It means
you've decided to see beyond the
imperfections.. !
