THE PREGNANT DEER
In a forest ,a pregnant deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river.
This seems a safe place for delivery, suddenly labour pains begin.
At same moment,dark clouds gather around above and lightning start a forest fire. She looks to her left and sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her.To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her.
What will the pregnant deer do?
Remember she is in labour?
What will happen?
Will she perish to the hunters arrow?
Will she die a horrible death at the hand of the hungry lion?
She is constrained by the fire on the one side and the flowing river on the other and boxed in by her natural predators.
She focuses on giving birth to a new life.
The sequence of events that follows
Lightning strikes and blind the hunter
The hunter releases the arrow which zips pass the deer and strikes the hungry lion
It starts to rain heavily and the forest fire is slowly doused by the rain.The deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.Check the circumstances above and ask yourself whether the deer had any influence in the chain of reactions that happened to her enemies in front of her very eyes.
In our lives too,there are moments af choice when we are confronted on all both sides with negative thought and possibilities.What we must not do is take our eyes off the ball.
We must remain focus on the issue at hand.Some thought are so powerful that they overcome us and overwhelm us.
Maybe we can learn something from the deer.The priority of the deer was simply to give birth to a baby.The rest was not in her hands and Ani action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster.
So asy yourself, where is my focus?
Where is my faith and hope?
REMEMBER;in the midst of any storm do keep faith in the Creator.

This is my first time writing a story hope you like it and please do comment on it.
