four boyfriends.
She loved the fourth boyfriend the most
and adorned him with rich robes and
treated him to the finest of delicacies. She
gave him nothing but the best.
She also loved the third boyfriend very
much and was always showing him off to
neighboring kingdoms. However, she
feared that one day he would leave her for
another.
She also loved her second boyfriend. He
was her confidant and was always kind,
considerate and patient with her.
Whenever this girl faced a problem, she
could confide in him, and he would help
her get through the difficult times.
The girl's first boyfriend was a very loyal
partner and had made great contributions
in maintaining her wealth and kingdom.
However, she did not love the first
boyfriend, although he loved her deeply,
she hardly took notice of him!
One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her
time was short She thought of her
luxurious life and wondered, 'I now have
four boyfriends with me, but when I die,
will I be alone.'
Thus, she asked the fourth boyfriend, 'I
loved you the most, endowed you with the
finest clothing and showered great care
over you. Now that I'm dying, will you
follow me and keep me company? 'No
way!', replied the fourth boyfriend, and he
walked away without another word.
His answer cut like a sharp knife right into
her heart.
The sad girl then asked the third boyfriend,
'I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying,
will you follow me and keep me company?'
'No!', replied the third boyfriend. 'Life is
too good! When you die, I'm going to
marry someone else!' Her heart sank and
turned cold.
She then asked the second boyfriend, 'I
have always turned to you for help and
you've always been there for me. When I
die, will you follow me and keep me
company?'
'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!',
replied the second boyfriend. 'At the very
most, I can only walk with you to your
grave.' His answer struck her Like a bolt of
lightning, and 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, and there was her first
boyfriend.
He was very skinny as he suffered from
malnutrition and neglect.
Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I should
have taken much better care of you when I
had the chance!'
In truth, you have four boyfriends in your
lives:
Your fourth boyfriend is your body. No
matter how much time and effort you
lavish in making it look good, it will leave
you when you die.
Your third boyfriend is your possessions,
status and wealth. When you die, it will all
go to others.
Your second boyfriend is your family and
friends. No matter how much they have
been there for you, the furthest they can
stay by you is up to the grave.
And your first boyfriend is your spirit.
Often neglected in pursuit of wealth,
power and pleasures of the world.
However, your spirit is the only thing that
will follow you wherever you go. Cultivate,
strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the
only
part of you that will follow you to the
throne of God and 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.
Being happy doesn't mean everything's
perfect. It means you've decided to see
beyond the imperfections.
"As long as we have memories, Yesterday
remains; As long as we have hope,
Tomorrow waits; As long as we have
friendship, Today is beautiful"
