A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not
knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other recourse but to pray
to God.

However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide
the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat
its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife.
The next day, there was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the
other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day,
like magic, a! ll of these were given to him. However, the second man still
had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the
island.

The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second
man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's
blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, 'Why are you leaving your companion on the island?'

'My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them,' the
first man answered. 'His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not
deserve anything.'

'You are mistaken!' the voice rebuked him. 'He had only one prayer, which I
answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.'

'Tell me,' the first man asked the voice, 'what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?'

'He prayed that all your prayers be answered.'

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone ,
but those of another praying for us.

This is too good not to share...

My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are answered. Be blessed.

'What you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself'

This was shared with me by a friend, I hope you will share with your
friends.

THEY WILL ALWAYS TALK BUT YOUR CHOICE IN WHO YOU LISTEN TO IS WHAT MATTERS......
