What Are We Here For?.......

Beloveds,
I had to share this with you. I've reworked a story that features a phrase the reknowned philosopher Donald Duck shared with his nephews that has stuck with me for many years. It helps me to remember, 'What I Am here for'....I share it with you below.

Click this link after reading my short fable and looking at the photo,  for a beautiful true story that illustrates Donald Duck's message. If you click the large dark space, you'll hear an audio of the humble hero telling the story in his own voice. 

Gotta tell you~The WONDERFUL CHARACTER of the MEN OF THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS, the MLB umpire in the article below, Colin Kaepernick, the always gracious and intelligent Williams Sisters ~ American Athletes are stepping up as truly worthy ROLE MODELS.

I lovu~

Donald Duck was out with his 3 nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie having a great day on the river. They were having a good time, except for Dewey, who'd wanted to stay home and read. Waddling along, they saw a man showing an excited young boy how to put a fish on a fishing hook. Further on, two birds seemed to play tag in the air above them. Dewey's attitude just got angrier seeing so much fun around him, when suddenly they looked up to the bridge high above the river. There, they could see a small crowd of people, tightly gathered around one spot.

Dewey finally blurted out, "Unca Donald, what are we here for???"
Focusing on the scene on the bridge, and sensing his nephew's frustration, Donald Duck quietly responded, "To help the others".

This seemed to satisfy the other boys, and even Dewey thought about it, shrugged his shoulders and  smiled for a moment. Then, this most pensive of his nephews, turned his head and asked his uncle, "So what are the others  here for?".........
