Determination and Faith

Resolve to walk from home to temple to have darshan - a bridge we needed to cross was closed for maintenance - standing there, wondering - the operator from Cabin allowed us through.

May God extend His helping hand to every one & make them happy & content.

If a person decides to do something & asks His help, the desire will sure be fulfilled.

We had resolved to walk from home to the temple to have darshan of God.
On 9th June 2006, we (I, my husband, his brother & sister in law) began our trip the temple at 5.00 A.M. The golden rays of Sun & soothing breeze were quite encouraging & chirping of birds was likse a compliment & appreciation of our resolve.

When we reached a Bridge we were supposed to cross, all our hopes to complete the journey by walk were dashed to ground. The Bridge was closed for maintenance.

We were standing near the Bridge & did not know how to complete the journey. One of the workers approached us & enquired whether we wanted to cross the bridge & offered us the boat service.

We were wondering that if we crossed the creek by boat, would that fulfill our resolve of going to temple by walk, when we suddenly noticed that operator from Cabin walking towards us. He too enquired whether we wanted to cross the bridge.

With heavy heart we said "yes". "Don't you worry? I will make an exception and let you go though one way of the bridge." He took only 3 minutes to open one of the pathways & we crossed the Bridge.

Tears were flowing from our eyes as we witnessed this miracle happen.
When we pray to God, He helps us & does every thing to ensure that our resolves are fulfilled. Our plans were successfully completed with the blessings & help from God.
