An elephant and a dog became pregnant at the same time. Three months down the line the dog gave birth to six puppies. Six months later the dog was pregnant again- and nine months on the  dog gave birth to another dozen puppies. The pattern continued. On the eighteenth month the dog approached the elephant questioning- “Are you sure you’re pregnant? We became pregnant on the same date ; I have given birth three times to a dozen puppies, and they have grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant. What’s going on?” The  elephant replied- “ There is something I want you to understand. What I am carrying is  not a puppy, but an elephant. I only  give birth to one in two years. When my baby hits the ground- the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road- human beings stop and watch in admiration. What I carry draws attention, so what I’m carrying is mighty and great!” *Don’t  lose faith when you see others receive answers to their prayers. Don’t be envious of others testimonies. If you haven’t received your own blessings- don’t despair. Say to yourself, *“My time is coming, and when it hits the surface of the earth- people  shall yield in admiration.”*

This piece spoke to me in so many ways, so I wanted to share this with my HP family.
