A SHORT & BRIEF STORY By:- Amina Wayas, Titled “The Beautiful Deer” (Enjoy) 
*THE PREGNANT DEER – such a beautiful story and a story difficult to come by!!*🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

*In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river*. 

*This seems a safe place*. 

*Suddenly labour pains begin.*

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

*At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above and lightning starts a forest fire*. 

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

*She looks to her left and sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her. To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her*.

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

*What can the pregnant deer do? Remember she is in labour!!*

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

*What will happen?* 

*Will the deer survive?* 

*Will she give birth to a fawn?* 

*Will the fawn survive?* 

*Or will everything be burnt by the forest fire?* 🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

Will she perish to the hunters’ arrow? 

Will she die a horrible death at the hands of the hungry lion approaching her? 

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

She is constrained by the fire on the one side and the flowing river on the other and boxed in by her natural predators.

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

What does she do? 

She focuses on giving birth to a new life.

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

 The sequence of events that follows are:

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

 – lightning strikes and blinds the hunter.

 – he (the hunter) releases the arrow which zips past the deer and strikes the hungry lion.

 – it starts to rain heavily and the forest fire is slowly doused by the rain.

 – the deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.

Check the circumstances that took place above and ask yourself whether the deer had any influence in the chain of reactions that happened to her enemies right in front of her very eyes.

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

In our life too, there are moments of choice when we are confronted on αll sides with negative thoughts and possibilities. What we must not do is take our eyes off the ball. We must remain focused on the issue at hand.

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

Some thoughts are so powerful that they overcome us and overwhelm us. 

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

*Maybe we can learn something from the deer.*

The priority of the deer, in that given moment was simply to give birth to a baby.The rest was not in her hands and any action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster.

*Ask yourself:*

*Where is my focus?*

*Where is my faith and hope?*

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

*In the midst of any storm, do keep faith in the Creator always. He will never ever dissapoint you. NEVER.*

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

*Remember, He neither slumbers nor sleeps!! The strong person knows how to keep their life in order*. *Even with tears in their eyes, they still manage to say “I’m ok” with a smile*.
