Ít người vui khi nghe 1 câu chuyện cười nhiều lần




 Mọi người trong một ngôi làng thường tìm đến một nhà thông thái để xin lời khuyên về các vấn đề trong cuộc sống. Nhiều người đến nhiều lần để than phiền về cùng một vấn đề trong cuộc sống.
Một ngày, nhà thông thái quyết định kể 1 câu chuyện cười và khiến tất mọi người cười phá lên.
Vài phút sau, ông kể lại câu chuyện cười đó 1 lần nữa nhưng chỉ có một vài người mỉm cười.

Sau đó, nhà thông thái kể lại câu chuyện lần thứ 3, nhưng không còn ai cười nữa.

Lúc đó, ông mới mỉm cười nói rằng: Bạn không thể cười khi nghe 1 câu chuyện cười 3 lần. Vậy tại sao bạn lại khóc vì cùng 1 vấn đề nhiều lần như vậy?

Bài học: Lo lắng, sợ hãi không giải quyết được vấn đề, nó chỉ khiến bạn lãng phí thời gian và năng lượng. Đừng nên quá tập trung vào nổi lo lắng mà hãy dành sự tập trung của mình vào những công việc quan trọng hơn trong cuộc sống.

Final Prayer - The Coronavirus Novena

Dear Lord Jesus, I have specific requests that may only partially fill the infinite needs and desires that are in my heart. I ask that You answer me not only for those requests but also for a greater reliance on You to satisfy the needs and desires that You have given me.
Please grant the prayers of all those who prayed this novena with me. Bless them with Your love and make them holy!
May I seek You with a sincere heart knowing that it will profit me nothing if I gain the whole world yet lose my soul.
So, help me to see Your good and gracious purpose in all my trials. Help me to see Your blessings in every day and help me to love You more.
Thank You for everything, Lord Jesus!
Amen.
