The ant and the grasshopper

On a hot summer day, a happy grasshopper was singing and playing his guitar with all the enthusiasm.

She saw an ant passing by, and the ant was very focused  in its large daily hard work, which consisted of storing food for the winter.

"Good morning Mrs. Ant, come and sing with me, instead of working so hard." Challenged the grasshopper. "Let's have some fun."

"I have to store food for the winter,"  said the ant,  without stopping working,  "and I advise you to do the same."

"Do not worry about the winter it is still far away."  Said the  carefree cicada. "As  you can see, we have no lack of food."

But the ant would not listen to that and continued its toil.

Months passed away and the weather cooled increasingly until all nature around was covered with a thick white blanket of snow. A harsh winter just arrived.

The grasshopper was starving and freezing, and it went to the ant's home and humbly begged for something to eat.

"If you had listened to my advice in the summer time, you  would not be so desperate by now."  Scolded the ant.  "Have you not preferred to sing and play your guitar?  Well,  now you can dance! Have some fun!"

And saying this, the ant shut the door, leaving the cicada reaping what it had sowed.  

The apostle Paul warned the members of the church in Thessalonica by saying:  

2 Thessalonians 3:10 (NLT)

Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: "Those unwilling to work will not get to eat."

King Solomon, the wisest men, wrote:

Proverbs 6:6-8 (BBE)

"Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise: 

They have no leader, chief, or ruler,

but they store up their food during the summer, getting ready for winter".

Proverbs 6:9 (GNT) How long is the lazy man going to lie around? When is he ever going to get up?

God is eager to prosper HIS children, and HE will bless the WORK of our hands.

Psalm 128:2 (GNT)

Your work will provide for your needs; you will be happy and prosperous.

Be blessed.
