STOP BEING A SMALL GLASS

A wise man once came to his disciple, and found that his disciple’s face was like a thunder cloud.

“What happened with you son? What makes you loose your joy?”, the wise man asked.
“Teacher, my life is getting harder and harder. Problems comes in and out everyday”, the disciple replied.
The teacher smiled, “Son, get me a glass of water and two scoops of salt”

The disciple did the order.
“Will you just put one scoop of salt in the water”, the teacher said, “and drink it”.
The disciple did what the teacher asked him to do, then he felt he wanted to throw the water out from his mouth.

“How does it feel?” the teacher asked.
“Really salt. I am sick”, the disciple replied.
The teacher smiled. “Now, you follow me”. He took the disciple to the lake near where they sat.

“Take the rest of the salt in your hand, and spread it to the lake”
The disciple directly did it. He didn’t want to ask anything. The salt is still in his mouth.
“Now, will you just drink from the lake water”, asked the teacher as he looked for a stone to sit on.
The disciple took the water in his two hands and drink it.
Suddenly the cold water refreshed his throat. And the salt in his mouth suddenly disappeared

“How do you feel now?”, the teacher asked.
“Fresh, ….really fresh”, the disciple replied.
“Can you feel the salt in your mouth?”, the teacher asked.
“No…, not at all”, the disciple smiled.

“Son”, the teacher said. “All the problems in the world are like a scoop of salt. Not more, not less. It is just a scoop of salt. God has measured the problems in everyone’s life. It also fits to you. Only for you. The amount remains all the time.
No one in the world can avoid problems that have been set to him. Even a prophet”.

The disciple listened. Quietly.

“But son, the salt feeling really depends on the capacity of the glass.
Therefore, if you don’t want to feel too much sorrow in your life, stop being a glass. And start being a lake”.

VERY IMPORTANT PERSON

Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.
"You know" he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?"

The driver said,
"No problem. Have at it."

Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap.

The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone.

The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure.

The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving.

He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor.

He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law... But I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."

The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?"

The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that."The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president." The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that."

The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"

The young trooper said,
"I think it's Jesus,
because he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!"
