I – Interesting Conversation

This April for the #A-Z 2020 I have taken short stories from books of Fr Anthony De Mello – “the song of the bird” and the “prayer of the frog” .  I would like to share these stories and hopefully believe that these stories will inspire you too.  


Traveler: “What kind of weather are we going to have today?”

Shepherd: “The kind of weather I like”.

Traveler: “How do you know it will be the kind of weather you like”?

Shepherd: “Having found out, sir that I cannot always get what I like. I have learnt always to like        what I get. So I am quite sure we will have the kind of weather I like.”

Being happy or unhappy is not dependent on situations and circumstances of life – it has more to do with how we respond to them.

Today is Good Friday and we are all at home – as the church doors are closed. Its a great reminder that Church is not a building, but people who make the community and it’s the faith that keeps us together. I feel privileged that despite the lock down, we are still emotionally connected in a virtual way – attending the church services on Television and praying for the country and the world.

It’s only a temporary phase and we will tide over this situation…

“Stay Home # Stay Healthy & #Stay Safe …

Thanks for reading my post, appreciate your time.

Be Blessed & Be a Blessing!

  1. What a lovely lesson of acceptance. Like they say, accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be!
