Once upon a time, an Elephant and a Dog fell pregnant at the same time. 3 months down the line, the dog gave birth to 6 puppies, 6 months later, the dog was pregnant again; and 9 months later, it gave birth to dozen puppies. This pattern continued! In the 18th month, the dog mocked the elephant as follows :   DOG: Are you sure you are pregnant? We got pregnant on the same date. I have given birth 3 times to a dozen puppies and they are now grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant. What's going on? Or you only wanted to be treated in kindness under the pretence of being pregnant? The elephant and said: Hahaha! There is something I want you to understand! What am carrying is not a puppy but an elephant. I only give birth to one in 2 years. When my baby hits the ground, the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road, human beings stop and watch in admiration. What I carry draws attention! I cannot be ignored! It is not common to find an elephant by the side of the road knocked down by a car or as a pet of any kind In a person's house. So what I'm carrying is mighty and great." Great truth!

The moral lesson is that as you journey through life NEVER COMPARE YOURSELF TO ANY MAN OR WOMAN because you are wonderfully and fearfully made by God in special way. Some of the battles/delay you are facing is because you are pregnant with an awesome testimony! David suffered the most because he was the greatest of the 8 children of Jesse. Joseph suffered the most because he had the greatest destiny over his brethren. Such is life! Refuse to pity yourself or envy others! Say to yourself always:"MY TIME IS COMING; MY SEASON AND BLESSINGS ARE BEING PROCESSED, PREPARED, PACKAGE AND WRAPPED UP IN GOD'S GLORY. WHEN IT HITS THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH, PEOPLE SHALL CELEBRATE ME IN ADMIRATION. I AM NOT A QUITTER! " Remember:A road without a bus-stop is unimportant and leads nowhere..........
