O Passarinho de Sariã.

"Não te cause aborrecimento imitar aquilo que te dá prazer elogiar." S. Agostinho

Versículo: "Ouve, filho meu, e aceita as minhas palavras, e se multiplicarão os anos da tua vida. No caminho da sabedoria te ensinei, e por veredas de retidão te fiz andar. Por elas andando, não se embaraçarão os teus passos; e se correres não tropeçarás." Provérbios 4:10-12

Bom dia! Tenha um ótimo dia

O Passarinho de Sariã.

passarinho E a nossa esperança acerca de vós  é  firme,  sabendo  que, como sois parti- participantes das aflições, assim o  sereis também da consolação" (2Coríntios 1.7).

Na floresta de Sariã, na Índia, viviam animais de  todos  os portes e temperamentos. Alguns ferozes, ágeis, e outros mais acomodados e dóceis. Havia também uma  grande  variedade  de aves e répteis. Conta-se  que  entre  eles  destacava-se  um passarinho muito querido pelos companheiros de floresta. Era dócil e diligente. Depois de um prolongado verão, com tantas folhas secas  cobrindo  o  chão,  irrompeu  na  floresta  um pavoroso e incontrolável  incêndio.  À  medida  que  o  fogo invadia  o  seu  interior,  os  moradores  de  Sariã  fugiam espavoridos. Os mais vagarosos eram alcançados pelo  fogo  e acabavam fenecendo antes de sair  do  seu  habitat.  O  fogo ameaçava impiedosamente destruir as árvores seculares  e  os bosques tranqüilos e acolhedores.

Vendo o que se  passava,  o  passarinho  amigo  viu-se  numa situação de  verdadeiro  desespero.  Mas  não  perdeu  muito tempo. Saiu voando em direção ao rio,  onde  mergulhou  para depois sair voando sobre as chamas. Com  a  água  conservada nas penas aspergia o fogo, na tentativa de apagá-lo.  Ia  ao rio e  voltava  incessantemente,  repetindo  essa  fatigante operação dezenas de  vezes,  sem  desfalecimento.  Tudo  era inútil porque as labaredas, cada vez mais violentas, tomavam proporçôes sempre maiores. O passarinho, entretanto, não  se cansava e nem desistia.

Um chacal indolente observou, irônico:

- Ó companheiro, que desmedida tolice está cometendo?! Então acha você que, com essas poucas gotinhas d'água que leva nas penas, vai conseguir apagar o volumoso incêndio  que  invade todo o mataréu?

- Bem sei que a minha contribuição é insignificante e  fraca diante das colunas de fogo que  aniquilam  a  nossa  querida habitação - disse o passarinho.

- Não posso, porém, fazer mais do que faço. Eu quisera poder me desdobrar muito mais, contudo, não posso.  Assim,  dentro das minhas possibilidades estou cumprindo o meu dever.

Nesse  mundo  envolto  em  chamas  somos,   particularmente, semelhantes  ao  passarinho  de  Sariã;  não   conseguiremos combater as labaredas destruidoras da violência, do  desamor e da indignidade que ameaçam destruir a nossa tranqüilidade, harmonia e segurança. Entretanto, onde cair  nossa  gota  de serviço, ela cumprirá sua missão. O importante agora  não  é discutir  se  o  fogo  vai  ou  não  ser  extinguido,  se  a contribuição pessoal que prestamos será valiosa, mas  o  que na realidade importa é que cada um de nós cumpra o seu dever de lutar por um mundo melhor, mais digno e fiel  transmissor da paz e da harmonia.

Excelente Sexta-feira
Abraços       (-.-)Zzz

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

Acredite em seu potencial, não se venda nunca, repudie todo e qualquer assédio que venha denegrir a sua moral. Não caia nesta correnteza de todo imundo. E a bênção e a unção de Deus estarão sobre sua cabeça.

"Pois não deixarás a minha alma no inferno, Nem permitirás que o teu Santo veja a corrupção; (Atos 2:27)"
