HOUSE ON FIRE 


A rich man built a boat to sail alone in the sea.


On the day of the holiday, he set sail in his boat. When he reached the Mediterranean, there was a storm  in the sea . The boat started to sink.  


When there was no chance of the boat escaping, he put on a life jacket  and fell into the sea.


The boat  was submerged. The storm was also quiet. Floating Floating reached the man on an island  There was no one on the island.  


Nothing was visible except the sea  roaring around the island.  The man thought,  that I had never done anything wrong to anyone in my life, so why did this happen to me?


He replied to himself, 'The same God who saved him from the  stormy sea will find a way out.'

Days passed. The man spent his days eating leaves and trees growing on the island.


Gradually, his faith began to wane. He also began to question  the existence of God.


He did not know how many days he would spend on the island.  It occurred to him to build a small hut .  He built a hut with the help of tree branches and leaves . "Good , tonight I would sleep in this hut.  I will not be sleeping in the open."


As night fell, the weather changed, and suddenly there was a thunderclap   Just before he went to sleep in the hut, lightning struck the hut, and the whole began to burn .


Seeing the burning hut collapsed. He began cursing God. "You are not God , you are a demon , you have no mercy.  You're very cruel."


The man was sitting there  with his hands on his head in frustration.


Suddenly a boat came ashore. Two men got out of the boat and came to him and said, "We have come to rescue you. Seeing your burning hut, we realized that someone was trapped on this barren island. If you had not set fire  to the hut, we would not have known that anyone was here!"


Tears welled up in the man's eyes.

A lot of times, we  might not understand all that happens to us and can even look cruel and cause pain , but the big picture  and the ways of the God/ cosmos/ karma  are incomprehensible. 


Let's do the best we can and let's not lose hope and our faith in God and most importantly let's not forget to count our blessings on a daily  basis. 


Have a nice day ЁЯШК
