'Now,' said the doctor, 'my part is done, and, I may say, with some vanity, well done. It remains only to get you out of this cold and poisonous city, and to give you two months of a pure air and an easy conscience. The last is your affair. To the first I think I can help you. It fells indeed rather oddly; it was but the other day the Padre came in from the country; and as he and I are old friends, although of contrary professions, he applied to me in a matter of distress among some of his parishioners. This was a family - but you are ignorant of Spain, and even the names of our grandees are hardly known to you; suffice it, then, that they were once great people, and are now fallen to the brink of destitution. Nothing now belongs to them but the residencia, and certain leagues of desert mountain, in the greater part of which not even a goat could support life. But the house is a fine old place, and stands at a great height among the hills, and most salubriously; and I had no sooner heard my friend's tale, than I remembered you. I told him I had a wounded officer, wounded in the good cause, who was now able to make a change; and I proposed that his friends should take you for a lodger. Instantly the Padre's face grew dark, as I had maliciously foreseen it would. It was out of the question, he said. Then let them starve, said I, for I have no sympathy with tatterdemalion pride. There-upon we separated, not very content with one another; but yesterday, to my wonder, the Padre returned and made a submission: the difficulty, he said, he had found upon enquiry to be less than he had feared; or, in other words, these proud people had put their pride in their pocket. I closed with the offer; and, subject to your approval, I have taken rooms for you in the residencia. The air of these mountains will renew your
blood; and the quiet in which you will there live is worth all the medicines in the world.'
'Doctor,' said I, 'you have been throughout my good angel, and your advice is a command. But tell me, if you please, something of the family with which I am to reside.'
'I am coming to that,' replied my friend; 'and, indeed, there is a difficulty in the way. These beggars are, as I have said, of very high descent and swollen with the most baseless vanity; they have lived for some generations in a growing isolation, drawing away, on either hand, from the rich who had now become too high for them, and from the poor, whom they still regarded as too low; and even to-day, when poverty forces them to unfasten their door to a guest, they cannot do so without a most ungracious stipulation. You are to remain, they say, a stranger; they will give you attendance, but they refuse from the first the idea of the smallest intimacy.'
I will not deny that I was piqued, and perhaps the feeling strengthened my desire to go, for I was confident that I could break down that barrier if I desired. 'There is nothing offensive .

A fairy tale about fate. Don't push your luck. Read it properly. Take your time and do not rush this process. You shall get wherever you wish. I'll try to come there too but I can't promise.
This is a study of the parable of the prodigal son and how it ended so happily. Many bad situations end happily, and that is true for the story of life if people will put there trust in Jesus as Savior.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

The Donkey
There was a time when no cars existed in the stables of
a famous royal palace. In this stable there was a donkey that
was very sad due to the mocking received by his companions.
The ungroomed fur, the deep scars on its coat, and the
sad and humble head was noticeable by all. A beautiful
Arabian horse, a former winner of many prizes, was
approaching the donkey.
8
The unfortunate donkey received these wounding
remarks with resignation.
Alongside the Arabian horse
a fine English horse was also
approaching.
“Yours is such a sad fate!
Don’t you envy my positionin
the races? I am caressed by
the hands of the princesses
and praised by the words of
the Kings!”
“Well then! How could a
donkey appreciate the
excitement of the betsand
the taste for the hunt?”
A Spanish donkey approached
and commented mercilessly,
as well:
Another proud horse, of
Hungarian origin, also added
his comments.
“ This donkey is a coward! He
suffered in the hands of the
trainer without even lashing
out.”
“ It is embarrassing to stand
in his company.”
“ I am sorry to recognize
this donkey as a close
relative. He is a
dishonor, a weakling
and is useless!”
“He knows nothing
about pride! I only
accept tasks within
limits. If they abuse me
I leap, I kick and I am
capable of killing.”
5. 9
The offensive remarks
were not yet over when the
King entered the stable
together with the stable-
hand.
“I need a particularly
good animal for a special
task of great responsibility,”
informed the monarch. “He
has to be sweet and gentle,
and well trained. He must
be an animal who deserves
my unlimited confidence.”
The employee asked:
“ Don’t you want the
Arabian horse, Majesty?”
“ No, no! He is too
haughty and is only
good for the races and
celebrations of minor
importance.”
“ Don’t you want
the English horse?”
“ Absolutely not! Heis
restless and only good
for the extravagances
of hunting.”
“ What about the
Hungarian horse?”
“ No, no. He is wild
and untrained. He is
good to look after the
herd.”
“ The Spanish donkey
perhaps would be of
use to you sir?
“ Not at all. He is
cunning and cannot
be trusted ”
10
Life is like that as well.
On every occasion we have a great number of friends and
acquaintances, but only those who have learned to serve and to
withstand suffering, without thinking about themselves, are the
ones who can actually be of useful assistance to us.
After a few moments of
reflection the King asked:
“ Where is my
donkey?”
“
It is there,
Your Majesty.”
The King personally pulled the
donkey out of the stable
affectionately, and asked that he
be groomed and prepared with
the shining Arms of the House,
and be trusted with his son, who
was still a child, for this
strenuous trip.

The Rebellious Sheep
A certain very intelligent, but undisciplined sheep, becameawareof
the benefits that its wool brought everywhere, and after that, he
began to feel superior to the other beings of the Creation.Hebegan
to rebel against the shearing.
If he was so sought after, he thought, why should he accept the
humiliation of those enormous sheers? He felt intensely cold,from
time to time, he did not think much about the rich rations that he
received in the corral, but rather just examined the damagesthat he
was being made to suffer.
Very disappointed he exclaimed to the Creator:
12
Father, I am not happy with my
coat.
The shearing is tormenting…
Do modify me, Father!... What do you want me to do?
Vainly, the sheep answered:
I would like my
wool coat to be
made of gold.
The request was satisfied.
The sheep became of gold.
7. 13
However, as soon as the proud sheep was seen in this precious
coat, several ambitious people attacked him without pity.
Violently pulling out all the gold threads from his coat, they left
him wounded.
14
Filled with unhappiness and feeling sorry for himself, he again
implored of the Almighty:
Father, please transform me
again! I cannot exhibit a coat of
gold wool. I will always
encounter thieves that have no
compassion.
What do you want me to do?
The animal, still manifesting
vanity, begged:
I would like my wool to
be refined into exquisite
porcelain.
So it was done. His wool was
transformed into porcelain.
8. 15
However, as soon as he returned to the valley, an enormous
windstorm threatened and crushed all the porcelain threads thus
wounding the sheep’s body.
16
The Almighty complied with
the sheep’s will.
In order to avoid provoking
the thieves or being hurt by
the broken porcelain, I
would like my wool coat to
be transformed into honey.
The sheep without hesitationsaid:
Father, renew me! The porcelain
coat doesn’t resist the wind…
I am exhausted…
What do you want me to do?
In despair, he complained to the All-Merciful:
The wool coat of the sheep was
transformed into the sweetest honey.
9. 17
However, as soon as the poor sheep returned to the corral, a blanket of
disgusting flies began to hover over him. The more he ran through the
field the more difficulty it became to avoid the flies that were drawn to
the honey and sucking all the sweet threads.
18
The Almighty complied
with the sheep’s will. The
sheep returned to the
plains, capriciously happy
in his seeming difference.
I suppose that I would
be happier if my wool
coat could be similar to
lettuce leaves.
At that time, the sheep
thought more carefully and
after much consideration said:
What do you want
me to do?
Father, please modify
me; the flies have left
me bleeding.
The poor sheep returned to the Almighty once again and
implored:
10. 19
However, when some horses spotted him, he didn’t haveanybetter
luck. The horses held him down with their teeth and, aftertheyhad
eaten his entire coat of lettuce leaves, they bit his body.Thesheep
once again sought the intercession of the Supreme Judge while
dripping blood from the deep wounds and, in tears, he groaned
humbly:
20
The All-Compassionate Father, seeing that the sheep was truly
sorry, observed:
Cheer up my son! What
do you wish for now?
Father, I can’t stand it anymore!...
I don’t want to be
superior over my
brothers.
The unhappy sheep answered weeping:
Father, I want to be an
ordinary sheep again, as I
once was.
I want to be simple and useful, the way you created me,Lord!...
Today I know that
my shearers are my
true friends.
They never left me
in wounds and they
always gave me
food and drink.
11. 21
The Father smiled warmly and blessed him tenderly as He spoke:
“Return and follow your path in peace. You finally understandthat
my designs were just. Each creature is placed on Earth, accordingto
my Laws, in the place that corresponds to him. If you intend to
receive, you must learn to give.”
Then the sheep, embarrassed but quite satisfied, returned to the
valley and joined the flock. And from that time on he was very
happy.
