The Girl With 4 Boyfriends (This is really worth reading &
sharing) Once upon a time there was
this girl who had four
boyfriends. She loved the 4th boyfriend
the most and adorned him
with rich robes and treated
him to the finest of delicacies.
She gave him nothing but the
best. She also loved the 3rd
boyfriend very much and was
always showing him off to
neighboring kingdoms.
However, she feared that one
day he would leave her for another. She also loved her 2nd
boyfriend. He was her
confidant and was always
kind, considerate and patient
with her. Whenever this girl
faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would
help her get through the
difficult times. The girls 1st boyfriend was a
very loyal partner and had
made great contributions in
maintaining her wealth and
kingdom. However, she did
not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply,
she hardly took notice of him. One day, the girl fell ill and she
knew her time was short. She
thought of her luxurious life
and wondered, I now have
four boyfriends with me, but
when I die, I'll be all alone. Thus, she asked the 4th
boyfriend, I loved you the
most, endowed you with the
finest clothing and showered
great care over you. Now that
I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?' 'No way!', replied the 4th
boyfriend, and he walked
away without another word. His answer cut like a sharp
knife right into her heart. The sad girl then asked the 3rd
boyfriend, 'I loved you all my
life. Now that I'm dying, will
you follow me and keep me
company?' 'No!', replied the 3rd boyfriend.
'Life is too good! When you
die, I'm going to marry
someone else!' Her heart sank and turned cold. She then asked the 2nd
boyfriend, 'I have always
turned to you for help and
you've always been there for
me. When I die, will you
follow me and keep me company?' 'I'm sorry, I can't help you out
this time!', replied the 2nd
boyfriend. 'At the very most,
I can only walk with you to
your grave.' His answer struck her like a
bolt of lightning, and the girl
was devastated. Then a voice called out: 'I'll go
with you. I'll follow you no
matter where you go.' The girl looked up, and there
was her first boyfriend. He
was very skinny as he
suffered from malnutrition
and neglect. Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I
should have taken much
better care of you when I had
the chance!' In truth, you have 4
boyfriends in your lives: Your 4th boyfriend is your
body. No matter how much
time and effort you lavish in
making it look good, it will
leave you when you die. Your 3rd boyfriend is your
possessions, status and wealth.
When you die, it will all go to
others. Your 2nd boyfriend is your
family and friends. No matter
how much they have been
there for you, the furthest
they can stay by you is up to
the grave. And your 1st boyfriend is
your Soul, often neglected in
pursuit of wealth, power and
pleasures of the world.
However, your Soul is the only
thing that will follow you where ever you go. Cultivate,
strengthen and cherish it now,
for it is the only part of you
that will follow you to the
throne of God and continue
with you throughout Eternity. Thought for the day:
Remember, when the world
pushes you to your knees,
you're in the perfect position
to pray. Pass this on to someone you
care about - I just did. " sandeep
