Four Girlfriends

THIS TURNED OUT TO BE SO DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I THOUGHT
IT WAS GOING TO BE.. IT IS A WONDERFUL MESSAGE
AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AT THE END... ENJOY


Once upon a time there was a man who had
four girlfriends.

He loved the fourth girlfriend the most and adorned
her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of
delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the third girlfriend very much and
was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms.
However, he feared that one day he would leave her for
another.

He also loved his second girlfriend. She was his confidant
and was always kind, considerate and patient with
him. Whenever this man faced a problem, he could
confide in her, and she would help him get through the
difficult times.

The man's first girlfriend was a very loyal partner
and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth
and kingdom. However, he did not love the first
girlfriend. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took
notice of her!

One day, the man fell ill and he knew his time
was short. He thought of his luxurious life and wondered,
'I now have four girlfriends with me, but when I die,
I'll be all alone.'

Thus, he asked the fourth girlfriend, '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 fourth girlfriend, and she
walked away without another word.

Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.

The sad man then asked the third girlfriend, 'I
loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you
follow me and keep me company?'



'No!', replied the third girlfriend. 'Life is
too good! When you die, I'm going to marry someone
else!'



His heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the second girlfriend, '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 second girlfriend.. 'At the very
most, I can only walk with you to your grave...'

Her answer struck him like a bolt of lightning, and
the man was devastated.

Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you.
I'll follow you no matter where you go.' The man
looked up, and there was his first girlfriend. She was very
skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect.

Greatly grieved, the man said, 'I should have
taken much better care of you when I had the
chance!'

In truth, you have four girlfriends in your lives:

Your fourth girlfriend 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 third girlfriend is your possessions, status
and wealth.When you die, it
will all go to others.

Your second girlfriend 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 first girlfriend is your spirit. Often neglected
in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.

However, your spirit is the only thing that will
follow you where ever you go. Cultivate, strengthen and
cheri**** 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 puhes you to your
knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.


Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It
means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.


Makes you think....
