Auxilio Mutuo

"Primeiro, Senhor, permita-me observar que o uso da força sozinha é apenas temporário. Ela pode subjugar por um tempo; mas ela não remove a necessidade de subjugar novamente; e uma nação não é governada se deve ser perpetuamente conquistada." Edmund Burke

Versículo: "Levantarei os meus olhos para os montes, de onde vem o meu socorro. Meu socorro vem do Senhor que fez o céu e a terra." SalmoS 121:1,2

Bom dia! Pessoal

Auxilio Mutuo

Em zona montanhosa, através de região deserta, caminhavam dois velhos amigos, ambos enfermos, cada qual a defender-se quanto possível contra os golpes do ar gelado e de intensa tempestade, quando foram surpreendidos por uma criança semi-morta na estrada, ao sabor da ventania de inverno.

Um deles fixou o singular achado e exclamou, irritadiço:

- Não perderei tempo! A hora exige cuidado para comigo mesmo. Sigamos à frente.

O outro, porém, mais piedoso, considerou:

- Amigo, salvemos o pequenino. É nosso irmão em humanidade.

- Não posso, disse o companheiro endurecido. Sinto-me cansado e doente. Este desconhecido seria um peso insuportável. Precisamos chegar à aldeia próxima sem perda de minutos. E avançou para adiante em largas passadas.

O viajante de bom sentimento, contudo, inclinou-se para o menino estendido, demorou-se alguns minutos, colando-o paternalmente ao próprio peito, e aconchegando-o ainda mais, marchou adiante, embora mais lentamente.

A chuva gelada caiu metódica pela noite adentro, mas ele, amparando o valioso fardo, depois de muito tempo, atingiu a hospedaria do povoado que buscava.

Com enorme surpresa, porém, não encontrou o colega que havia seguido na frente.

Somente no dia seguinte, depois de minuciosa procura, foi o infeliz viajante encontrado sem vida numa vala do caminho alagado.

Seguindo a pressa e a sós, com a idéia egoísta de preservar-se, não resistiu a onda de frio que se fizera violenta, e tombou encharcado, sem recursos com que pudesse fazer face ao congelamento.

Enquanto que o companheiro, recebendo em troca o suave calor da criança que sustentava junto do próprio coração, superou os obstáculos da noite frígida, salvando-se de semelhante desastre.

Descobrira a sublimidade do auxílio mútuo. Ajudando o menino abandonado, ajudara a si mesmo. Avançando com sacrifício para ser útil a outrem, conseguira triunfar dos percalços do caminho, alcançando as bênçãos da salvação recíproca.

Excelente Domingo
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

Deus procura na terra os homens de bem. E onde eles estão? Eles estão nos tronos? Nos parlamentos? No executivo? No legislativo? No judiciário? Nos governos? Nos partidos políticos? Eles estão em todos estes lugares, mas ainda não houve tempo para iniciarem as obras do coração.

"Enganoso é o coração, mais do que todas as coisas, e perverso; quem o conhecerá? (Jeremias 17:9)"
