Don't Get Trap By Satan

This is a story from "The Misionary's Little Book Of Inspirational Stories"

This story is called "How To Catch A Monkey" BY = Elizabeth Brenner

In India, people catch monkeys by seting a out a small box with a tasty nut in it. There is an opening in the box - large enough for the monkey to put in his empty hand, but too small for him to pull it out once he grabs the nut. Once the monkey has the nut, he must let go to regain his freedom. If he keeps holding the nut, he is trapped. Most monkeys will not let go of the nut, making it easy for hunters to catch them. People have been known to be caught in similar traps - the prize in the box controls us-but we can free ourselves if we are willing to let go = Elizabeth Brenner

Do we all get distracted of what is going around us? Do we recongize the good things? Do we try to focus spending time with our families? Do we go and seek (look) to find any service we can help with? Do we do our best to lift others up and being a friend? If we do these things then we will truly be happy because its what our Hevanly Father would like us to do is being kind to everyone, give a hand or arm :) for any oppurtunitys to help others, following the God's Commandments, and doing our best to set a good exmaples and following God in our daily Lives. Sometimes Satan tries to creep into our day to day life and tear us down. He will try his best to distract us from our purpose here on Earth and if we follow him by being distracted (or be like a monkey who wants the nut) then Satan has us and it will be hard to get away. But if we choose to let go of the nut (distractions) and to do our best to follow God's path we will truly be happy. We can have more blessings from our Father in Hevan cauase he can give us everything that we need not WANT. But Satan can't to do he is a deciever and will lead us a stray. So lets stay strong and do our best to always have God as our light who is shigning our pathway. Because God loves you and wants to protect you and will always be there to help you. Remember it is us if we seperate from God it isn't God seperating from us cause he will never do that.
