The Boy and the Feather
I once saw a kid chasing a feather which the wind blew away, the closer he reached to it , the further the wind blew it away. As he thought I have it in the tips of my fingers, the wind will blow it off the tips of his fingers, higher and higher it flew away, the wind blew it, till it was seen no more. Finally when all hopes of his ability was gone, it was time to pray. As the kid looked up and pointed to the thing he desired more than all this world combined, "this feather Father I desire, which you took away, in Jesus name."" And sobbing he said ""let it be for thee, and I give it to thee, for it was never mine, since you took it away. " As the tears went down his cheeks, he took his hands to wipe it down, on his hand it came down wet with the dew of that rain that came flowing down. Many times we chase things the wind seems to takes away, but if in that time we give it back to God, God if he desires will give it back to thee.
