this story was given to me by a very dear friend malvis

i was talking to my dad today about how sometimes i feel horrible pysically so he said to me how when he was fighting alcoholism yrs ago he tried to leave it all by himself to no sucess then he said what else can i do turn to god he said and it worked he said to me leave all ur worries on god's shoulders so i went to my room to try and find my dl manual and found a old red folder i keep documernts and old kingdom ministrys in well rumaging through it i found a really good story a dear sister once gave me and i saved and totally forgot about it the name of it is called mule shake it off and it says that there was a man and his donkey out for a stroll then the donkey falls into an old well and starts crying pathetically while the old farmer starts to think what he can do to save his donkey the man later realizes there is no point in saving this old donkey besides the old well needs to be covered up so he calls all of his neighbors to come and help him bury the well while the donkey watches in horror screaming them to the old farmer astonishment then donkey quiets down so he looks into the well and to his astonishment again he sees that with every shovel full of dirt droped on this donkey all he does is shake it off and takes one step up he continues this untill he is able to walk right out of the well this story amazes me because at the end the donkey makes it out he does not stop to worry he just acts well the moral to the story is that every problem we may have they are just stepping stones for us to live happier lives we jsut need to stop worrying and start acting like the donkey
