THE CHESS GAME

Every day is a new day;

It comes with new challenges to deal with.

And, it comes with new opportunities

To learn and grow…

To become wiser, finer and stronger in life.

Hence, there are no problems, no troubles in life…

There are only opportunities

To become fine human beings.

I must thank God for my daily troubles –

For the wonderful opportunities

That He serves me, each day.

I, therefore, ask God

Not for a day without problems,

But for the wisdom and strength to deal with them…

So that I can build a mind of steel and a soul of gold.

This morning, my friend, Soniya,  forwarded

This inspiring message to me:

“Life is like 
Playing chess with God.

After your every move,

He makes the next move…

Your moves are called ‘Choices’…

His moves are called ‘Challenges’.

       Today, God has sent me many opportunities…

       “Thank You, Lord. Thank you.”
