STORY OF THE LITTLE GRAPE STEM (English Poetry)
Story Of The Little Grape Stem
Once upon a time there was a little graps stem..
This stem was so glad to be alive... She drank
water and minerals from the soil and grew.
She was young and strong and could manage quite well... All by Herself.
But then, the wind was cruel , the rain was harsh, the snow was not one bit understanding,
and the little grape stem suffered...
She drooped weak and frail.
It would be so easy to stop trying to grow,
to stop trying to live.
And the grape stem felt poor'
The winter was long and the stem was weary,
But then the little grape stem heard a voice.
It was another grape stem calling out to her...
"Here, reach out... hang on to me. " But the stem,
hesitated, "What would this mean ? she thought
for you see the little stem had always managed,
quite well .... All by herself.
But then , ever so cautiously she reached out,
towards the other grape stem.
"See , I can help you" , it said.
"Just wind your tendrils about me and I will help,
you lift your head".
And the little stem trusted... and suddenly she
could stand straight again.
The wind came... and the rain... and snow,
But when it came the little grape stem was clinging to many other stems.
Although the stems were swayed by the wind...
and frozen by the snow , they stood strongly united with each other.
And in their united strenght... they could smile
and grow.
Then , one day the little stem looked down and saw a tiny stem swaying and frightened,
And our little grape stem said,
Here hang on... I will help you" And the other stem reached up to our grape stem... And together all the stems grew... Leaves budded...
flowers bloomed... And finally grapes formed...
and the grapes fed many.
I hope this story encourages your heart to always lend a helping hand when you see someone struggling in an area which you,
have already been victorious over.
Hebrews 10:23-25 Says: "Without wavering,
let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have,
for God can be trusted to keep His promise.
Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds.
And let us not neglect our meeting together,
as some people do, but encourage and warn
each other, especially now that the day of His
coming back again is drawing near".
