"Dear me ...look at his face"
"oh my God,pity him"
"what on earth has happened to his face?!"
People were talking among themselves when this man passed by.
He,is a successful young man .He gives motivation talks all around the world.He enjoys being on the stage.He loves applause.He loves his crowd.He loves their support.He is a gifted young man ,full of potential.That is why ,now he is a successful motivator,giving hope to others just like his father always does.He is such a great guy.Well,except for one thing...........He possesses a "scar" on his face.
An ugly,horrendous,terrible and frightening "scar".It is as if a slash from his ear to his mouth.Its totally scary.
Yet,this young man isnt affected by this "scar".He is highly self -esteemed ,full of courage and filled with confidence,despite of the "scar".
Hence,one day,a friend of him was sooooo curious and puzzled,he asked this man:
"How do you actually deal with your scar?"
The man was shocked."Do you mean my birthmark?hoho"
"O you know what, i am totally proud of it!my father uses to tell me that i am so lucky to born with this "scar".Well,before i was borned,my dad prayed to God,he prayed so that the God will bestow him an extraordinary child."
And God really did it.God gave him a child with this birth mark on his face.His dad told him,
"Dear son,i am so proud of you.I thank God for offering me such a child,you are truly different from others.When i stepped into the room,i straight away recognised you as my child.Because of your birthmark.You know,my dear,this is a gift from God.Your birthmark is the kiss from an angel.It is a holy gift.You should appreciate it always!"
The young man told his friend.
"So why should i feel inferior as i am actually the luckiest guy on earth.When people see me,they have such a strange expression and keep on whispering.You know what, actually they are jealous of me.They didnt get the chance to be kissed by an angel."
Could you all feel the positive energy emanated from this young man and his father?
The father accepted the fate that his child was borned with an ugly birthmark.He understood that it will affect the boy's future if he do nothing.Hence since his son was a little boy,he kept on telling him that how proud he is of him.And the birthmark is actually a kiss from an angel.He wants his son to grow up in a proper way,just like other children do.He dont want his son to live under inferiority.
Because he knows,though the world might find it hard to accept his son,he,himself must not!
Encouragement plays a crucial role in our life.A few words might make a great difference.Why should we be so stingy and selfish?It is just a few words!
A few words from a friend give us a the push to keep on going.
A few words from our family provide us the energy to continue our journey of life.
A few words can give us a confirmation ,an answer that each and everyone of us are searching for.....and that is our spiritual comfort.
and this father understands...............
Oh My Dear Daddy
A soul relaxing classic.Sung by the Great soprano,La Divina Maria Callas.
