A short story--
A business man was late for his flight. He reached the boarding gate just before it closed. Arriving at his seat, he greeted his companions for the next few hours, and a little girl sitting on the aisle seat. After the flight took off, he began a conversation with the little girl. She appeared to be about the same age as his daughter and was busy with her colouring book. He found it strange that such a young girl would be traveling alone, but he kept his thoughts to himself and decided to keep an eye on her to make sure she was okay.
About an hour into the flight, the plane suddenly began experiencing extreme turbulence. The pilot came over the PA system and told everyone to fasten their seat belts and remain calm, as they had encountered rough weather.
Several times over the next half hour the plane made drastic dips and turns, shaking all the while. Some people began crying, and many―like the woman in the window seat―were praying intently. The man was sweating and clenching his seat as tightly as he could, and exclaim "Oh my God!" with each increasingly violent shake of the plane.
Meanwhile, the little girl was sitting quietly beside him in her seat. Her colouring book and crayons were put away neatly in the seat pocket in front of her, and her hands were calmly resting on her legs. Incredibly, she didn't seem worried all.
Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the turbulence ended. The pilot came on a few minutes later to apologise for the bumpy ride and to announce that they would be landing soon. As the plane began its descent, the man said to the little girl, "You are just a little girl, but I have never met a braver person in all my life! Tell me, dear, how is it that you remained so calm while all of us adults were so afraid?"
Looking him in the eyes, she said, "My father is the pilot, and he's taking me home."
There is deep lesson in this story and each will find their own. The little girl had full faith and trust in her Father unlike many of us. Therefore we suffer. We don't trust our father, the Supreme..... The pilot of our life journey..... and he will make us arrive home in safety.We loose the faith and start to panic when the ride gets bumpy. We start cribbing with the diminishing patience. We forget to trust Him, we forget that He is the almighty supreme and it's his duty and responsibility to help us get through all our troubles and miseries, no matter how many turbulences we go through in life. All we need to learn is to remain calm in every situation.
May this beautiful story inspire you and brighten your path. May you have a happy and colourful journey!
Love & Light...
Have a blessed day!!
