APPEARANCE AND REALITY

A six year old was very proud because a new baby was coming into his family. Every day he bragged about the upcoming event to his first grade teacher. One day his mother let him feel the movements of the unborn baby. When he went to school the next day, he was unusually quiet. Finally, his teacher asked, "What is happening with the new baby?" The little boy burst into tears and said, "I think my mother ate him." Sometimes we don't quite understand what's really happening in a situation, and we have a tendency to always jump to the worst conclusion. What may be a natural process of unfoldment may appear to us as something terrible happening. We probably just need to relax and let the Good that is there come forth in the situation.
