Quotes for Kids

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of
the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.

The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they
had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to

nd out

whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory
between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The rst thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the rst
man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able
to eat its fruit. The other mans parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the rst man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only
survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the rst man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the
second man still had nothing.

Finally, the rst man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at
his side of the island. The rst man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island.

He considered the other man unworthy to receive Gods blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the rst man heard a voice from heaven booming, Why are you leaving your companion on the
island?

My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them, the rst man answered. His prayers were all
unanswered and so he does not deserve anything.

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us.
