HARD times

"Hey lets go to the beach .... Its 4...... and it is our beach time " cried one of our members. Eventhough I didnt look like i really wanted to go. My heart was pounding with the rush of excitement through my veins. I wanted to go because my heart is there in the waters and the soft sound of the sea . After a long day and week of work, I just needed this rest. A hands full of us march our way down the beach. As we were there , I felt something strange , something different , something not like the last time was there .... It was a strong wind and bubble keep surfacing from the sea signaling a wave has been formed. I just stood there amazed by this sudden change and willing a cool breeze shaking my spine . Nevertheless we still proceeded to play some activity at the beach.

When it was later in the afternoon, we were tired and exhausted and seriously want a dip in the water. We went and had swim. At first we started to play some game in the pool but after that all of us just could not do anything but stood there. And there is was wave after wave... We were swept away by each blow .... But each blow we stood up. And this time we held hands and the wave came again. " Here it comes again ..... 3...2.....1... puff ... The wave almost covered our head but amazingly we stood!!! Even though some of us were blown away and the connections were broken. But we linked up again.... " Here is a big one " My friend CC shouted ..... Pufff .... Completely swept away.... After a while they were tired and went up to shore ..... but I stood there saying in my brain one more ... Come on... wave bring it on .... One more.... In Life waves strike us hit after hit after hit .... and fighting the waves in Life is not easy ....It overpowers us as much as we want to control it ... but in every wave ...It is a challenge .... a risk ... a chance that you might not stand through it ... and most of the times .... The battle is not fought alone ... Remember the story i told you ... It is by linking hands we stood firm .... And we linked up again eventhough we were separated.... We need God's strength and wisdom to face life's toughest challenge ... and we also need one another to pull through .... And surprisingly when you have been through it all ... You become stronger , wiser , tougher , better than before and you can now say to the wave ...." come one .... bring it on ... i m ready ....!!!!"
