Beautiful Plans from God


One day, a girl passed by a cloth shop and saw a new design of a sweater. It was beautiful that she wanted it real bad. But she had no money with her. Back at home, she kept thinking about it and said "If only I could have it, that would be heaven!".

The next day, she went to the cloth shop to buy the sweater. Unfortunately, it was very expensive and she just can't afford it. The manager can see how frustrated she was and he came to her. "Do you want to give it a try, dear? You may if you want. There's a fitting room," he said and pointed to the fitting room. She tried it on and looked in the mirror.

"Sir, this is the most beautiful and comfy sweater I have ever tried in my life. The style, the material, it's perfect. Your business will run successfully!" Yet, she can't afford it. She's a bit upset. "It's okay. I'll wait. Perhaps one day, I could come here again and buy it." She smiled.

And so one day, she met the manager of the cloth shop at a festival. He came to her and said, "Hello dear. It's been such a long time. I'm the manager of the cloth shop and I have something to ask from you if you don't mind."

"Yes, sir. I remember you well. What can I help you, sir?" She answered. Then, unexpectedly, the manager handed her a box. "Here. Our shop has a new design of the sweater you've tried before. Would you mind to have it?"

She opened the box and realized the sweater that she desired a long time ago. It's not the same sweater from before, yet it looks much more beautiful than the previous one. She never even thought of it. She can't even afford the one before, but then she was gifted the new arrival sweater that was far exquisite than she ever desired. She thanked him and smiled happily.


Moral of the story: 
Sometimes, we don't always obtain what we want just simply because God has more beautiful plans for us.
