There was a bird that lived in the desert, very sick, without feathers, nothing to eat, drink and without shelter to live; cursing his life, day and night.
One day, an angel was crossing that desert and the bird stopped the angel and asked him:
- Where are you going?
The angel replied:
- I’m going to meet God.
So the bird asked the angel to please ask God when his suffering would end.
The angel said, “Of course I will!”
And the angel said goodbye to the bird. Upon meeting God, the angel shared the bird’s message with him.
The angel told her of his pathetic condition and asked when his suffering would end.
God replied: - During the rest of its life, the bird has to suffer like this.
You will not have happiness.
The angel replied that when the bird heard this, it would be discouraged.
So I ask you if you could suggest any solution for this.
God replied:
- Tell him to pray like this: “Thank you God for everything”
The angel returned to the bird and delivered the message from God.
A week later, the angel passed the same path again and saw that the bird was very happy.
Feathers had grown on his body, a small plant grew in the desert area, a small pool of water was also there, and the bird was singing and dancing happily.
The angel was amazed at how this happened because he remembered that God said that for the remainder of his life, there would be no happiness for the bird.
With that concern in mind, he went to visit God again.
The angel asked and God answered:
- Yes, it was written that there would be no happiness for the bird for the remainder of its life, but everything changed because the bird is praying daily “Thank God for everything”, in every situation.
When the bird fell on the hot sand, it said “thank God for everything.”
When it could not fly, it repeated “thank God for everything”, so whatever the situation, the bird kept repeating “Thank God for everything” and thus changed what was left of life in seven days. "
When I heard this story, I felt a huge change in the way I feel, think, accept and see life.
I adopted that prayer in my life.
Whatever the situation I faced, I began to repeat that simple sentence ‘THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING’.
It helped me change my point of view of what I did not have and what I have in my life.
In the same way, I started to use this prayer in my life with everything that I can relate to.
We shared this story with all my family and friends as well which brought a great change in their behaviors.
This simple prayer really had a profound impact on my life, I started to feel how blessed I am, how happy I am, how good life is!
The purpose of sharing this message is to make us aware of how powerful the power of gratitude is.
It can reshape our life.
A simple word, a simple thought, that teaches us to be grateful for everything we have in our life, has the power to dissolve any “curse” that we carry all our lives.
Be grateful and you will see the change in your life.
Be humble and never have doubts.
- Thanks God for everything…
