On a hot summer day, A little boy and his mother were inside a lake house. Little boy decided to go for swim in Lake behind his house. Boy was really excited to go into lake and swim in cool lake. So he just ran out.
Boy went into lake and swam far without realising that he swan right into middle of that lake. Boy's mother looked out the window and saw an alligator approaching towards his son.
As she saw both of them closer to each other. She ran towards little boy and yelled as loud as she could. She shouted about alligator approaching him and asked him to swim back towards house.
Hearing voice of his mother, boy got alarmed and made u turn to swim towards his mother but it was too late. Just as mother reached her little boy and grabbed his arm, at same moment alligator snatched his legs.
That began a tug war between two. Alligator was too strong but mother was too passionate to let her son go.
At same time, a farmer happen to pass by and heard scream of little boy and his mother. Farmer race towards lake and took his aim at alligator and shot him.
Remarkable, after getting treated for week in hospital boy survived.
A newspaper reporter came to interview boy after incident and asked him about the incident. Boy lifted his pants from legs which was extremely scarred by the vacious attack of animal.
But, then, with pride said to the reporters, "look at my arm. I have great scars on my arms too".
Newspaper reporter, "why these scars are great"???
Boy's replied," I have these scars on arm bcoz my mom wouldn't let go..."
Moral:
Similarly in our life scars from painful past. Sometimes we foolishly made into difficult situations and we forget that enemy is waiting.
That's when tug of war begin between Life and God. That's why some wound we have because God wouldn't let go. We should be very greatful to God for being there with us.
