It has been quite some time since I last updated this blog of mine. I am still new so I don't know much about blogging. I don't know how to make my blog interesting nor do I know how to attract people to see and follow my blog. Hoho..
Anyway, I just want to share to my two followers about the current book that I am reading. It is one of the Chicken Soup series. I tell you, Chicken Soup books are the best inspirational books ever. The books share many motivating stories which are more like bibliotheraphies.
This one particular story is one of my favourites. It is one of those stories that move something inside you, you know. So here it is..
' Moses Mendelssohn, the grandfather of the well-known German composer, was far from being handsome. long with a rather short stature, he had a grotesque hunchback.
One day, he visited a merchant in Hamburg who had a lovely daughter named Frumtje. Moses fell hopelessly in love with her. But Frumtje was repulsed by his misshapen appearance.
When it came time for him to leave, Moses gathered his courage and climbed the stairs to her room to take one last opportunity to speak with her. She was a vision of heavenly beauty, but caused him deep sadness by her refusal to look at him. After several attempts at conversation, Moses shyly asked,
" Do you believe marriages are made in heaven?"
" Yes," she answered, still looking at the floor. " And do you?"
" Yes I do," he replied. " You see, in heaven at the birth if each boy, the Lord announces which girl he will marry. When I was born, my future bride was pointed out to me. Then the lord added, " But your wife will be humpbacked"
"Right then and there I called out, 'Oh Lord, a humpbacked woman would be a tragedy. Please, Lord, give me the hump and let her be beautiful.'"
Then Frumthe looked up into his eyes and was stirred by some deep memory. She reached out and gave Mendelssohn her hand and later became his devoted wife. '
That's love :)
