Bom dia! Pessoal

 O Palácio Maravilhoso

Conta-se que certa vez, um rei do Iêmen, chamado Hiamir, chamou um dos seus ministros e disse-lhe
“Quero fazer longa viagem à Tiapur, uma região longínqua, pobre e triste, árida e sem conforto.
Determino que vá antes de mim, e logo que lá chegar, mande que seja construído um magnífico palácio, com largas varandas de marfins e pátios floridos.

Nesse palácio ficarei hospedado durante uma temporada, com tranquilidade e conforto.”
O Vizir respondeu humildemente
“Escuto e obedeço, ó rei.”
Dias depois o Vizir partiu, em uma caravana com numerosos camelos carregados de ouro.
Ao chegar à cidade o Vizir ficou desolado com o estado de abandono em que se achava o povo.
Encontrou pelas estradas crianças famintas e centenas de infelizes, morrendo de inanição.
Os quadros de miséria e sofrimento que se desenrolavam, a cada passo e a todo instante, torturavam o coração do poderoso ministro.

Ele trouxera mais de trinta mil dinares, que deveriam ser gastos na construção de um grandioso palácio!
Que fez o Vizir
Levado por um impulso irresistível, em vez de executar a ordem do rei, resolveu gastar o dinheiro que trazia, beneficiando a infeliz população.

Mandou construir abrigos para os desamparados.
Distribuiu mantimentos entre os mais necessitados.
Determinou que todos os enfermos fossem, sem demora, medicados e forneceu pão aos que padeciam fome.
Ao fim de alguns meses, notava-se uma transformação completa da cidade.
Os homens haviam voltado ao trabalho e por toda a parte reinava a alegria.
As crianças brincavam nos pátios e as mulheres cantavam nas portas das tendas.
E do palácio maravilhoso, encomendado pelo rei, nada existia...
Quando o rei Hiamir chegou a Tiapur foi recebido por uma grande manifestação de júbilo da população.
“Sinto-me feliz” – confessou o monarca – “por saber que sou sinceramente estimado pelos meus súditos. Mas onde está o palácio de Tiapur” Perguntou.

“Antes de falar do palácio, ó rei, tenho um pedido a lhe fazer.” Disse-lhe o Vizir.
“Segundo as leis, aquele que o desobedecer, praticando um abuso de confiança, deve ser condenado à morte. Pois, houve, ó rei, um homem de sua confiança que praticou tal delito. Espera-se que seja determinada a execução do culpado sem demora.” Disse o Vizir serenamente.

“Quem é o acusado” Questionou o rei.
“O criminoso sou eu.” Disse o Vizir sem hesitar.
E sem ocultar a menor parcela da verdade, o Vizir descreveu a miséria em que se encontrava o povo.
Por fim, confessou que, penalizado diante de tanto sofrimento, em vez de construir o palácio real, resolveu gastar os recursos que lhe foram confiados para mudar a triste sorte da população.

“Não cumpri a ordem recebida, por isso aguardo o castigo de que me fiz merecedor.” Concluiu.
“Levante-se, meu amigo.” Ordenou emocionado o rei.  “Vejo que seu trabalho é responsável pela edificação do mais belo dos palácios que já conheci.  Vejo as torres cintilantes nas fisionomias alegres das crianças; admiro as largas varandas de marfim no sorriso radiante dos meus súditos; reconheço os pátios floridos no olhar de gratidão das mães felizes.  Como é majestoso e belo, ó Vizir, o palácio que a sua bondade fez se erguer nas terras de Tiapur.”

Pense nisso!
Cada um é responsável pela destinação que der à riqueza que lhe for confiada, seja ela representada por recursos materiais ou mesmo aqueles mais dotados espiritualmente.

Cada qual, pelo uso de seus próprios talentos, é capaz de alterar o mundo, distribuindo alegrias ou acumulando dores.

Excelente Segunda-feira
Abraços       (¬_¬)

Não existem sonhos impossíveis para aqueles que realmente acreditam que o poder realizador reside no interior de cada ser humano, sempre que alguém descobre esse poder algo antes considerado impossível se torna realidade.

Sds, Marcell

Não se sinta humilhado por não ser tão grande como gostaria de ser. Olha para o pequenino beija-flor, tão minúsculo e que causa em nosso olhar tanta admiração. Deus olha assim para você, pequeno, mas admirável aos seus olhos.

"Mas, qualquer que escandalizar um destes pequeninos, que crêem em mim, melhor lhe fora que se lhe pendurasse ao pescoço uma mó de azenha, e se submergisse na profundeza do mar. (Mateus 18:6)"
