When we are praying, we can ask what we want to our God. Eveybody can ask what he wants to God. And our God loves all creatures, He wants to make all happy. But often we do not understand the way He answers our prayers, He has His own ways to fulfill or to answer our prayers. Human beings are so selfish and often think of themselves, like to ask and asking continuously in their prayers. Now try to understand how difficult to fulfill the prayers of all people in this world, by creating the problems and giving solution for them. By doing this, hopefully you can gratitude all the times for what God gives us whatever they are. This is the way to make you as the grateful persons.
Create/Write a complication of a family who consists of six persons, they are mom, daddy and the four children. They have different prayers. And remember that a person usually has the problem in his life. Now think how to solve the problems of that family with the good solution and make them happy. Here is the example of the narrative which has the good solution for all characters in that story.
Nai Manggale (Datu Panggana)
Once upon a time, there lived a famous
sculpture in Tapanuli, North Sumatra. His name was Datu Panggana. He could
carve wood into many things. One day, he got an inspiration to carve a wood
into a statue of a beautiful woman.
Then, he put the statue in front of his
house. It was not finished yet. The statue still had any clothes yet. Later, a
young merchant passed by in front of Datu PangganaÕs house. His name was Bao Partigatiga.
He sold jewelleries and clothes. He was very impressed by the beauty of the
statue.
"She would be more beautiful by
wearing my clothes," said Bao Partigatiga.
He then put on the clothes he wanted to
sell on the statue. Bao Partigatiga was very pleased now. The statue looked
like a real human. Then he left Datu Panggana's house. After that, a priest and
his wife passed by. They were also impressed by the beauty of the statue.
"I want to pray to God to make her
live like a real human. I want to make her as our daughter," said the
priest to his wife.
The couple had any children yet. Their
dream came true. The statue had changed into a very beautiful girl. The priest
and his wife then took the girl home. They named her Nai Manggale. The news
about Nai Manggale spread very fast. All the villagers came to the priest's
house to see Nai Manggale. Among them were Datu Panggana and Bao Partigatiga.
Datu Panggana said, "She has to
stay in my house. The statue was mine."
But, Bao Partigatiga also claimed the
same thing.
"She is wearing my clothes. So, she
has to stay in my house."
The priest did not want to lose Nai
Manggale.
"Remember, I am the one who made
her live like a human. So, she stays here."
Those three men then were busy arguing.
They claimed to have the rights of Nai Manggale. To calm them, an elderly of
the village gave a solution. His name was Aji Bahir.
"You all can have her and have a
relationship with her. Datu Panggana, you are her uncle. Bao Partigatiga, you
are her brother. And you the priest, you are her father."
The three men accepted Aji Bahir's
advice. And now they were happy because they all could ask her to stay in their
houses. Besides that, now those three men were related. ***
