Chapter 1011. Two Prayers

Two people's prayers, translated by Zhang Bao on September 25, 2018

A ship was sunk in a storm at sea, only two people on board escaped, and all the others were killed.

The two survivors desperately swam to a deserted island. However, there was no food to eat and no shelter on the island. The two survivors circled the island, but couldn't do anything. So, they had no choice but to pray to God.

In order to determine whose prayers were more effective, they divided the island into two, with each occupying one side of the island. The first thing they prayed to God was food. The next morning, the man named Jack saw a fruit tree full of fruit. He went up to the tree and plucked the fruit and ate it. On the other side of the island, no fruit trees have grown. So, Hans, who lived on the other side of the island, could only starve.

After living on the island for a week, Jack felt lonely and needed a wife. So he prayed to God. The next day, another boat was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to the island. But on the other side of the island, nothing happened.

After having a wife, Jack also wanted another house, some clothes, and more food, because now the two of them had to eat. The next day, as if by magic, God brought him everything he needed. And Hans over there didn't get anything.

Finally, Jack prays to God for a boat so that he can leave the desert island with his wife. The next morning, he found a boat docked on the side of the island. Jack and his wife get on the boat and decide to leave Hans on the island, as his prayers have not been answered in any way, so he thinks Hans is not worthy of God's blessings.

As the ship was about to leave, Jack heard a loud question from the heavens, "Why did you leave your companion on the island?"

Jack replied, "This is the answer I received from my prayers alone." And all Hans's prayers went unanswered, so he didn't deserve anything. ”

"You're wrong!" the voice rebuked him heavily, "he has only one prayer, and I have answered him. If not, you won't get any of my blessings. ”

"Please tell me," Jack asked the voice over there, "what is his prayer, and what should I owe him?"

"He prayed to me that all your prayers would be answered. ”

Remember my friend Zhang Bao 2018.9.25

Two friends travel through the desert together. During the trip, they argued, and one friend slapped the other.

The man who was slapped was very sad, but he didn't say anything, just wrote on the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me. ”

They continued their journey until they found an oasis. They decided to go take a shower. The man who was beaten got stuck in the mud and began to drown, but his friend saved him.

When he recovered from drowning, he carved in the stone: "Today, my best friend saved my life." ”

The best friend who slapped him and saved him asked him, "After I hit you, you wrote on the beach, why are you carving in the stone now?"

Another friend replied, "When someone hurts us, I'm going to write it on the sand, and the wind of forgiveness can blow it away." But when someone saved my life, I had to carve it into stone so that there would be no wind to wipe it out. ”

Know how to write your pain in the sand, and engrave your benefits in stone.

They say that it takes a minute to find someone special, and then to spend an hour admiring him, and another day to love him, but to forget him, it takes a lifetime.

Pass this on to someone you'll never forget. Here's a short message to let them know you'll never forget him.

True love Zhang Bao 2018.7.12

There is a saying in old Hebrew textbooks that says, "Love is as strong as death." But it seems that not everyone has experienced this intense love. Growing poverty, crime and war are reminding us that the world desperately needs true love. But what is true love? Love is an emotion we all need, but how do we know when we will experience it?

True love is best seen as devotion and action, not emotion. Love doesn't depend entirely on how we feel, but our emotions do, but it can't be the only criterion for our love. True love is when you care enough about another person that you give your life for them. When that happens, love is truly as strong as death. You will have mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, friends, etc., but how many of them are willing to sacrifice their lives for you? Many people outside the emergency room door prayed to their loved ones, "God, let me take their place." May you find true love and be a genuine lover. May you find a love that is not only stronger than death, but lives in a truly fulfilling life.
