Son asked, “Father.. you say God is present everywhere but i am not able to see him anywhere..”
Father replied, “Son.. We can’t see God but he is everywhere and can see everyone and everything they do..”
Months passed by and a severe famine happened in village. Due to which Father’s fields were rendered barren and he had nothing to sell in market. So he decided to go to his neighbors farm and steal.
When father went out for stealing he set along with his son and entered his neighbor’s field. He instructed his Son to sit on a branch of tree to keep watch and signal if he sees someone coming towards farm.
Now as soon as father sat there to gather crop his son called him and said, “Hold on father..!!”
Father questioned, “But why?? Do you see someone coming here??”
Son replied, “Yes, someone is watching us..”
Father got up from there and looked around but he found no one there. Then he asked his son, “Who is watching us?? I see no one..”
Son replied, “Father you told me that God is present everywhere. He watches everyone and their deeds very closely. Then how will he not see you stealing from your neighbor’s farm?”

Secondly, When Parents teach something to Kids they should also Follow that in their life.

He continued, “Should i feel embarrassed because of his nature and habits?? He should be allowed to do what ever he feels comfortable with as long as he is not harming others.

In a town, every year an annual lumberjack competition was held. The rule for the competition was simple, who ever cut the most tree at the day end would be the winner.
This year there were only two people in the final. One was old and experienced lumberjack while another was younger and stronger lumberjack.
Young man was full of enthusiasm and as the final competition started he went off into the woods and set to work straight away. Older lumberjack went to opposite side of the woods and started his work calmly.
During competition, Younger lumberjack could hear sound from other side of forest where older lumberjack was cutting trees. He could hear sound of trees falling on older man side. Young man noticed that at regular interval, sound of trees felling would stop from older man side.
Younger man took from this that the older lumberjack was taking rest after regular interval to get his stamina back. Younger man took it as an opportunity and took even that time to cut more trees without taking any rest.
At the end of competition, younger lumberjack looked at the pile of woods he cut and felt confident that he would win as he didn’t take rest like older lumberjack and continued to cut trees from beginning of competition till end without any rest.
At the medal ceremony younger man stood there confidently that he would be awarded the prize of being champion of competition Next to him was older man who was looking much less exhausted than the younger man.
When result were announced, young man was shocked to hear that older man won that competition.
Younger man turned to older lumberjack and said, “How can this be even possible?? After every hour you would stop cutting trees and take rest while i was still cutting trees even at that time and yet you win..”
Older man turned to him and replied, “Yes, i took break after every hour but it was not just for rest but i also took that time to sharpen my Tools..”

In our Life we just keep on rushing to do things but forget to understand that we need to stop and let our-self rest and have time to think better and clear about life.
