There’s a well known story that I want to share with you today…
A very spiritual woman was once caught in
rising floodwaters.
She climbed onto the roof of her house and trusted the Universe to rescue her.
A neighbour came by in a canoe and said, “The waters will soon be above your house. Hop in and we’ll paddle to safety.”
“No thanks” replied the spiritual woman. “I’ve called out to the
Universe and I’m sure it will save me.”
A short time later the police came by in a boat. “The waters will
soon be above your house. Hop in and we’ll take you to safety.”
“No thanks” replied the spiritual woman again. “I’ve called out to the
Universe and I’m sure it will save me.”
A little time later a rescue services helicopter hovered overhead,
let down a rope ladder and said. “The waters will soon be above
your house. Climb the ladder and we’ll fly you to safety.”
“No thanks” replied the religious woman a third time. “I’ve called out
to the Universe and I’m sure it will save me.”
All this time the floodwaters continued to rise, until soon they
reached above the roof and the spiritual woman drowned.
When she returned to Source, she demanded an audience with
the
Universe.
Ushered into the Astral Plane for communicating with the Universe,
the woman said, “Why am I here? I called out for you to save
me, I trusted you to save me from that
flood.”
“Yes you did my child” replied the Universe. “And I sent you a canoe,
a boat and a helicopter. But you never got in.”
Have you heard this story before? Some of you may have. Nonetheless, the meaning behind this beautiful tale is ever so
true.
Don’t get caught in the floodwaters of your emotions, your health and wellness or your overall well-being. Accept help the first time it arrives.
You need not miss the boat again.
