One day a farmer's donkey fell into an abandoned well. The animal cried
piteously for hours as the farmer tried to
figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old and the well
needed to be covered up anyway; so it just wasn't worth it to him to try to
retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a
shovel & began to shovel dirt into the well. Realizing what was happening,
the donkey at first cried and wailed horribly. Then, a few shovelfuls later,
he quieted down completely.
The farmer peered down into the well, and was astounded by what he saw. With
every shovel full of dirt that hit
his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and
take a step up on the new layer of dirt.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he
would shake it off & take a step up.
Pretty soon, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted
off, to the shock & astonishment of all the neighbors!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting
out of the well is to not let it bury you, but to shake it off and take a
step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the
deepest
wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step
up!
