OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

"What food might this contain"? the mouse wondered...he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning.

There is a mousetrap in the house!

There is a mousetrap in the house!

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you,

but it is of no consequence to me. I can not be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him,

there is a mousetrap in the house!

There is a mousetrap in the house!

The pig sympathized, but said, I am so very sorry, Mr mouse,

but there is nothing i can do about it but pray.

Be assured you are in my prayers.

The mouse turned to the cow and said,

There is a mousetrap in the house!

The cow said, "wow Mr. mouse, I'm sorry for you, but it is no skin off my nose.

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap....alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house...like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was a venomous snake

whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup. So the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard

for the soups main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.

To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

So, the next time we hear someone who's having a problem and think that it doesn't concern us,

remember--- when any one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey

called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HELPED US OUT, WE LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.

REMEMBER....EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY.... OUR LIVES OUR WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON....

**Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain.....**
