Kutty story #59

  God is within us through our journey of life.

The story is about a baby boy who was about to be born into this world. He pleads to God not to send him to earth as it’s very chaotic and deceitful. God convinced him with his soft spoken voice and soft strokes, all about life and death. He tells him its very important for him to be born on earth for a reason. The baby boy finally gives in but asked for a promise from God in return. He asked that God be with him always as he wouldn’t want to go otherwise. So God agrees with a smile.

The baby boy asked God “how will I know you are with me when we are on earth as I will not see you”. God replied with a smile “whenever you close your eyes and see you will see two footprints, one will be mine and one will be yours”.

So the baby boy was born and life went on as any other baby. He grew into a kid and then into a young man, got settled in life and got really busy with life and its tensions. He had forgotten all about the discussion he had with God. He finally remembered the discussion in his old age, when life had slowed down. He immediately wanted to check if he was right. He closed his eyes and started rewinding his life from his early years and to his pleasant surprise he found two footprints all along his life. He was content when suddenly, he realized when his life was going through a rough patch and when he really needed  God beside him, he saw only one footprint. He was very disappointed and he soon succumbed to death. 

He met God after life and asked God “ You were there with me all through when things were going good and alright but when my life was going tough you weren’t there beside me and you didn’t keep your word” God asked “ How did you know that I left you?” The man said “ I saw only 1 footprint when I was in deep trouble”. God replied with a smile “ when you were going through the most difficult times,I couldn’t see you struggle and so I took you in my arms and carried you. That’s why you see only one footprint and that’s mine not yours”

Its so amazing how God plays his cards. If you look back at some confusions of your life, you will find that the situations were handled so beautifully by some superior force – God; be it whatever form and name you know Him as.

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony.
