LETTER TO GOD

 

Letter To God

The only house in the valley was on the top of a small hill. From above such a height one could see a river and, next to the yard for raising livestock, fields of ripe maize between which were sprinkled with red bean flowers that always promised a good harvest. The only thing the earth needed was bulk. rain or at least a little rain.

            Throughout the morning Rancho kept his eyes on the sky for signs of rain and he was pretty sure that it was going to rain. "You know, woman, now it will finally get some rain." His wife, who was busy preparing the food, replied: "Yes, God willing '.

            As soon as the Rancho family, wife and children, sat down to dinner, it was expected that large drops of rain began to fall. To the northeast a large cloud covered the sky like a blanket. The air had the smell of rain combined with the smell of fresh earth. The atmosphere at that time was truly heavenly. Children abandon their food under the pretext of getting one thing or another. All they want is to get wet and play in the rain.

            Rancho was delighted as he stared at his field, "ah! Now my harvest will be beautiful." He began to dream about all the things he would do after he sold his crops. Suddenly a strong wind began to blow accompanied by large drops of rain, which looked like huge pearls of ice. "Oh my God! This can't happen," she thought. "No !! no !! I will be crushed. It is raining, it is a storm. I hope it will pass soon." But in front of his family he remained strong and said, "I am sure it will pass soon, don't worry. "

            Unfortunately no. The storm lasted all night. This destroyed entire valuable crop fields. everything looked so white as if someone had thrown sacks and pearl sacks all over the place.

            Rancho and his wife are worried to death. Everything they owned had been destroyed and they had no inkling of what they were going to do.

            The kids ask, "what are we going to do? Everything is destroyed. We don't even have a few pieces of corn or beans. Does this mean we will starve to death?"

            Rancho said, "My children, no one died of hunger. Always remember we have God. I am sure he will help us."

Throughout the night Rancho kept thinking how to ask God for help. "God knows everything but I thought I should write to him and ask him directly what I want."

            Rancho is grateful for the day his parents have sent him to school. Although he was not interested in studies, he was never reluctant to learn to read and write. So he took paper and pen and started writing.

For God

Hi,

            I am writing this letter to you of extreme urgency, otherwise I would not have bothered you. You know about the recent storm at my place. Well, it broke me. Everything on my farm was destroyed. My corn and kidney beans were almost ready and all it needed was rain but instead of rain coming it was a storm. If it had lasted for a short period of time it would have been fine, but sadly it had lasted for one night. This has put me at a serious disadvantage, you look at God, my only source of income was agriculture and now it's completely destroyed. There is nothing left. If I leave it like this my family will starve to death, because we won't have anything to eat. I can't just sit back and do nothing about it. I need 100 pesos to buy my seeds and fields again and buy some food until the next harvest. So Lord, please help me. I know you won't disappoint me.

Best regards,

Rancho, farmer

            He put the letter in an envelope and addressed it to “God, 7 th heaven” and placed a stamp on it and dropped it in the mailbox. Workers at the post office are preparing letters for mail when they come across letters addressed to God. The postman who came across this letter became curious because his father had never seen a letter addressed to God. He wanted to open the letter, but his job ethics stopped him from doing so. He decided to take the letter and give it to the head of the post office. The postman is a very nice and kind man. He always helps people in any way he can. 

When the postman gave him the letter, he looked at it and said: "It takes a man with strong faith to initiate communication with God. I wish I had such strong faith. After much thought, he decided to read the letter and maybe reply to it. He opened Rancho's letter. Little did he know that repling letters would require more than goodwill, pen and paper. Rancho needed a lot of money but the postmaster didn't have. Since he had already decided to help Rancho, he decided to give some of it away. his salary, and he asked his friends and co-workers to contribute. But it was not possible for him to collect 100 pesos. He was happy that at least 70 pesos were collected. So he put the money in an envelope and signed it as "God" and asked the postman to deliver it to the house that rancho.

            When the postman arrived at Rancho's house and handed the letter to him, Rancho was very happy. And he kept repeating thank God! Thank you, God! I know you won't disappoint me.

            Rancho has a very strong faith in God. He wasn't surprised when he opened the envelope. But when he was counting the money he got very angry. God cannot make mistakes when sending money. So he took out a paper and wrote a letter to God again. Then he placed a stamp on it and put it in the mailbox. When the postman took the letter out, he immediately took it to the postman. The postmaster quickly opened the letter and everyone in the post office gathered around him wanting to know what Rancho wrote to God. Reads:

            "Lord, of the money I asked for, only seventy pesos reached me. Send the rest to me because I need it most. But don't send it to me by post because the employees at the post office are jerks.

Rancho.

This is the first time I've written a letter to You, Lord.

If I may ask, I want You to protect me from all the dangers in this world, especially please protect me from myself. Please protect my family and friends too, Lord.

Please give me ease in carrying out my business in the world. Give me success and help me make all my dreams come true.

God, I hope I can take the highest education. I want to be someone who can inspire many people. I want to be someone who is useful to others. I want to achieve my goals.

Lord, when it is time for me to go, I want to go well and satisfied with what I get in this world and I hope that everything I do can be a charity for my life in the hereafter. I really want to enter your highest heaven, please allow me to be one of the inhabitants, Lord.

God, thank you for bringing me into this world.

Forgive me if I often make mistakes and sins.

Thank you, God.

In the afternoon, a beautiful girl with a red hooded named Aisha looked sad on the seashore. She was sitting in the dock and kept looking at the blue ocean. The waves came crashing her feet but did not make her moved to another place. The shore of wind which blew till stabbed her bone did not make her eyes diverted to ocean.

That day, the sky was cloudless. She kept looking at the blue sea till the horizon began to return. She saw the fishermen who were getting back from the sea and bringing fishes quite a lot. The fishermen were greeted by their family who had been waiting for them at the edge of the ocean. Seeing something very emotional there, her tears soaked her cheeks. She thought of his family who had gone and left her alone.

That girl hated the sea because that’s where her family lost and died. It happened about 4 months ago when the ship that brought them from across the island was on fire and sank in the ocean. All her family died and lost including her mother, father, and brother. However, Aisha survived from the accident.

Until now, Aisha always comes to the beach every day to look at the ocean because from that place, she could remember her beloved family and remember the happy memories that they went through together. Her tears were rolling down her cheeks until the sun disappeared entirely behind the ocean.
