Un león paseaba por la jungla cuando diviso a la distancia un grupo de gatos que estaban charlando. “Me los voy a comer,” pensó. Se acerco cautelosamente y de repente una sensación de paz se apodero de el. El león escondido entre los arbustos a escuchar la conversación de los gatos.
Uno de los gatos exclamo: “le pedimos a Dios que haga llover ratones sobre nosotros!”
“pero hasta ahora no pasa nada” dijo otro de los gatos, aun inadvertidos de la presencia del león entre los arbustos. "Me pregunto si Dios realmente existe?"
Paso el tiempo y el cielo permaneció igual que siempre, no llovían los ratones que esperaban los gatos, y estos eventualmente perdieron la fe.
El león se levanto y continuo su camino, pensando: “que extraño como son las cosas. Yo me iba a comer esos animales pero Dios me detuvo. A pesar de eso ellos dejaron de creer en la intervención divina. Estaban tan preocupados de lo que se estaban perdiendo que ni siquiera se dieron cuenta de la protección que se les estaba dando.”*
* Esta historia en alusión a lo que le paso a Gissy hoy: Iba a la escuela a buscar a la Emy cuando se le reventó el neumático de atrás de nuestra camioneta. Los pedazos de goma y alambre pegaron en el guardabarros de atrás y se desprendió. Por suerte pudo mantener la camioneta estable y logra parar sin daños para ella o la gente que circulaba por la zona. Una desafortunado incidente que podría haber tenido consecuencias muy graves… o sea una bendición…
A lion came across a group of cats having a chat. “I’m going to devour them,” he thought. But then an odd feeling of calm came over him. And he decided to sit down with them and pay attention to what they were saying.
- Good God! – said one of the cats, without noticing the lion’s presence. – We have prayed all afternoon! We asked for the skies to rain mice on us!
- And so far nothing has happened! – said another. – I wonder if the Lord really exists.
The skies remained mute. And the cats lost their faith.
The lion rose and went on his way, thinking: “funny how things are. I was going to kill those animals, but God stopped me. And even so, they stopped believing in divine grace. They were so worried about what was missing that they did not even notice the protection they were given.”*
* This short story reflects my feelings today. Gisela had what could of being a very serious incident when the back wheel of our vehicle blew out as she was driving to pick up the kids from school. She was able to keep the vehicle straight and pull to the sides as the wheel disintegrated and pulled the back fender off the car. A bad incident that could have catastrophic results for Gisela and/or those who were around her… in this case we count our blessings…
