A
business man was late for his flight. He reached the boarding gate just
before it closed. Sweating and out of breath, he scanned his boarding
pass at the counter & quickly made his way to the plane.
Arriving
at his seat, he greeted his companions : a middle-aged woman sitting at
the window, and a little girl sitting on the aisle seat. After
stowing his bag above, he took his place between them.
After
the flight took off, he began a conversation with the little girl. She
appeared to be about the same age as his daughter and was busy with
her colouring book. He asked her a few usual questions, such as her age
(eight), her hobbies (cartoons and drawing), as well as her favourite
animal (horses are pretty, but she just loved cats). He found it strange
that such a young girl would be traveling alone, but he kept his
thoughts to himself & decided to keep an eye on her to make sure she
was okay.
About
an hour into the flight, the plane suddenly began experiencing extreme
turbulence. The pilot came over the PA system and told everyone to
fasten their seat belts & remain calm, as they had encountered rough
weather.
Several
times over the next half hour the plane made drastic dips & turns,
shaking all the while. Some people began crying, and many-like the
woman in the window seat-were praying intently. The man was sweating and clenching his seat as tightly as he could and exclaimed "Oh my
God!” with each increasingly violent shake of the plane.
Meanwhile,
the little girl was sitting quietly beside him in her seat. Her
colouring book and crayons were put away neatly in the seat pocket in
front of her & her hands were calmly resting on her legs.
Incredibly, she didn't seem worried at all.
Then,
just as suddenly as it had begun, the turbulence ended. The pilot came
on a few minutes later to apologize for the bumpy ride and to announce
that they would be landing soon. As the plane began its descent, the
man said to the little girl, “You are just a little girl, but I have
never met a braver person in all my life! Tell me, dear, how is it that
you remained so calm while all of us adults were so afraid?”
Looking at him in the eyes, she said, *“My Father is the Pilot, and He's Taking Me Home."*
Interpretation of this story:
*If we Recognize the Power of Faith.We Won't Look for Miracles.*
May this beautiful story inspire us and brighten our path..
*When Dad(God) is with you, you don't need Miracles.
*Our Parents are the Biggest Miracle of Our Life.
