An Inspirational Story Of A Pregnant Elephant And Dog

An elephant and a dog became pregnant simultaneously. Three months later, the dog had six puppies. Six months after that, she was pregnant again, and nine months later, she gave birth to another twelve puppies. This cycle continued for a while.

Eighteen months later, the dog approached the elephant and asked, “Are you really pregnant? We conceived on the same day. I’ve already had three litters of a dozen puppies each, and you’re still waiting! What’s happening?”

The elephant replied calmly, “I need you to understand something important. What I am carrying is not a puppy; it’s an elephant. I only give birth once every two years, but when my baby arrives, it will make a significant impact. When it walks down the street, people will stop and admire it. What I carry is powerful and magnificent.”

She added, “Don’t lose hope. When you see others receiving their rewards quickly, don’t feel envious if yours hasn’t arrived yet. Don’t be disheartened. Instead, remind yourself, ‘My time will come. And when it does, it will leave people in awe.'”

MORAL:

God’s timing is flawless. Everything happens when it is supposed to—never too early, never too late, but always at the perfect time.
