Once upon a time there was this girl who had four boyfriends. She

loved

the 4th boyfriend the most and adored 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! & #787; 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?

 

& #788;No! & #787; 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! & #787; 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 wherever 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.

 

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided

to see beyond the imperfections.

Dearest Sarita -

I love that story, I going to print it and read it to my boys. I know my 13

year old son Ethan will roll up his eyes and say " What ever.... " but my 11 year

old Josh will most likely sit and hear till the end.

Thank you, it was heart warming and inspiring.

Much Love for you, and a big hug too.

Becky

I really enjoyed this.

At first, I was taking it literally, and thinking about how I would follow my

boyfriend, if he were to go. Then, when I read the symbolism..I was amazed!

This is a great story, and it was fun reading it.

Thank you!

Love,

Tara
