A family member asked me to translate this beautiful reflection yesterday, the video is in spanish, I documented it in English. Enjoy:

The Bird

The bird: 

There was a bird who lived in the desert, he was very sick, had lost all his feathers, nothing to eat or drink, and without anywhere to live; hating his life, day and night.

One day, an Angel was crossing the desert and The Bird stopped The Angel and asked him:

-where are you going?

The Angel responded:

-I am going to stand with GOD

It was then, The Bird asked The Angel for a favor. To ask GOD when will his suffering end.

The Angel told him:

-Of course I will!

And The Angel said goodbye to the bird.

When The Angel found himself with GOD, The Angel shared his story of The Bird.

The Angel told of his sad, pathetic condition and asked him when he would stop The Birds suffering.

GOD responded:

-For the life that he has left in him, he will never see happiness….

The Angel replied:

 -When The Bird hears this, he will give up on everything. So I ask you, is there any solution to his suffering.

GOD responded:

-Tell him to pray and say these words: “Thank you GOD for everything”.

The Angel returned to The Bird and gave him the message from GOD.

One week later, The Angel was passing through the same route as before and saw The Bird. The bird was …..happy.

His wings had grown back,

A small plant had grown in the desert!

A small puddle of water was there too!

The Bird was singing and dancing happily.

The Angel was astounded. Shocked and wondering how this came to be, because he remembered GOD telling him that for the rest of The Birds life, he would never feel happiness.

With this question that bothered him so much, he went to visit GOD again.

The Angel asked and GOD answered:

-Yes, The bird would have been unhappy, but that all changed when he started praying everyday “Thank you GOD for everything” before dealing with a hard decision.

When The Bird fell to the hot sand, he said “Thank you GOD for everything”.

When The Bird could not fly he repeated “Thank you GOD for everything”, 

No matter the situation, The Bird just kept repeating “Thank you GOD for everything”

And because of that, what was left of his sad life changed to something better.

When I heard this story, I felt a great change in the way I feel, think, accept, and see life.   When you have a hard situation in front of you start to repeat the simple prayer

“THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING”.

This has helped change my point of view from what I had, and will have in my life.

So I do the same, I started to share this story with all my family and friends, and it has brought a great change to the way we feel about things.

It is a simple prayer that has a big impact: I realized how blessed I am, how happy I am, and how good life is!

This message wants to make us aware of how powerful it is to “Be thankful

A simple word, a simple thought, can help show us to be thankful for all we have in our life, have the power to resolve any “problem” that we carry around all our lives.

-Be thankful and you will see the change in your life.

– Be humble and never regret anything.

-Thank GOD for everything.
