Orthodox Parables and Stories: "Three Days of Kindness"
I'll just tell you a little story. I don't know if it's online or if I've told you about it. A grandmother went to the doctor and was told that she has cancer and will die in two months.
She went home sad and meets a neighbor.She tells her that she went to the doctor and he told her that she has cancer.
The neighbor advises her to go to a hermit who lived in the forest, maybe he can help her.
What the Elder says is verified and he can know whether you will get well or not.
Shee goes to the hermit and tells him everything and asks if there is a cure.
"What should I do," she asks the hermit.
"Three days of goodness," he tells her.
"So how does this happen?"
"Three days to have only good thoughts. Do only good. Don't even think about anything bad. But it has to be three days in a row. If you happen to do something wrong in between you will have to start over. With three days of kindness every disease is cured.
Grandma went home thinking that it is something very easy. But after two hours she thought something bad about her neighbo and had to start all over.
The neighbor who knew the grandmother's story took her daughter abroad and returned after a year. She sees grandma fine, walking in the yard with the chickens.
"What happened grandma, did you manage three days of kindness?"
"Not only two days I managed. I'm still fighting it."
"But how is your health?"
"I don't know if I was cured, but my life changed."
Struggling to do good, she forgot about her illness.
Let's see, I fell again. I have to take it from the beginning, complete the three days.
And so much was She turned towards it, that She came to do only good, to live good. She always prayed, her face shone and her life changed completely. She didn't care at all about her illness.
Anyone who wants, with three days of kindness all problems will be solved.
