Sunday
A man lived alone in a cottage by the countryside. He loves his house, and all of his belongings.
One day, a fire broke out in his kitchen and spreaded to his dining room.
The flames were licking at his beautiful oak dining chairs. In a bid to save the chairs, he moved them out of the house. The fire then spreaded to the hall. The man decided to move his antique clock, along with his favourite sofas out to safety. The fire continued spreading, and the man kept saving his belongings, item by item.
When the fire got too intense, he had no choice but to escape outside. It was only then he realised that while saving the different objects in his home, his house was completely razed to the ground.
The moral of this story is that while we are concentrating on the tiny details in life, it is easy to get carried away and lose sight of the big picture.
Have you lost sight of the big picture whilst rumbling through the small details in life?
