THE SPIDER ON THE DOOR
They say that once a man was chased by several evildoers who wanted to attack him. The man walked into a cave.
With such desperation he raised a prayer to the Creator: "God Almighty, let your angels come down and cover the entrance, so that they do not enter and kill me."
At that moment I hear the men approaching the cave he was in and saw a little spider appear.
Little spider started to weave a spider web in the driveway.
The man raised another prayer again, this time more distressed:
"Lord I asked for angels, not a spider"
And it continues "Lord please with your mighty hand place a strong wall at the entrance so men can't come in and kill me."
He opened his eyes expecting to see the wall blocking the entrance and noticed the spider weaving the web.
The evildoers were already entering the previous cave and the man stayed waiting for his death. By the time the criminals were in front of the cave, the spider had already covered the entire entrance.
Then I hear this conversation:
Let's go inside this cave.
Nope. There's no need
Look, there's a spider! There is no way he could have gotten into this cave without breaking it. Let's keep looking in the others.
REFLECTION:
We ask for things that from our human perspective are what we need, but God gives us those little things that can become big.
Sometimes we ask for walls to be safe, but God instead asks us for trust in Him, to let His power manifest and make something like a spider give us the same protection as a wall.
If you've asked for a wall and all you see is a spider web, remember God knows what we really need.

Do you know something? It's true that things change..
.
Change the way you are... your way of seeing the world and the people around you.
There comes a time when you realize there are no monsters behind the closet or under the bed, but they do exist!... that not all roses are roses and that there are many more colors that convey a beautiful feeling... that the black is also taken in summer and that color combinations depend on tastes and souls...
You realize that sometimes... silence is worth and says more than a thousand words, that a simple look or smile can penetrate you and make you fly... and that a few words said in the right way, can fill and comfort you more than an elaborate speech; above all... you realize that, the most sublime and effective way to be happy and cope with this world and those who inhabit it, is to go crazy @...
You realize that real friends are counted on one hand fingers and that betrayal doesn't come from your enemy.. that love can hurt as much as it can make you happy.. that the truth, although it hurts, is better in the long run.. who is not richer who has more... that not everything is what it seems and that many times the easiest path, is usually the most dangerous...
Ultimately, there is no better lesson learned than lived!
