God is our true friend

Story

One day, Shivani came home crying. Grandma asked, 'What happened? Why are you crying?' 'My friend is moving to another city, Grandma. Now I won't have any friends,' Shivani said, crying.

It's not like that, Shivani. You have a friend who will always be with you. 'What friend is that whom you know, and I don't?' Shivani asked, surprised.

'You will get the answer to that soon. Have patience. Now go to sleep. Remember, tomorrow is your grandfather's birthday, and we have to distribute food among the poor. We have a lot of work tomorrow,' Grandma said.

'Okay, Grandma,' saying this, Shivani went to sleep.

The next day, Shivani's mom and grandma, together, prepared a lot of food for the poor. They went to the temple with the food and arranged a yummy meal for all the poor people there.

Suddenly, some more poor people arrived. 'Oh no! The food is about to finish. What should we feed them?' Shivani said, worried.

Grandma said to fold hands and pray to God for help. At that moment, their driver came with a box of food in the car and said, 'You forgot this in the car.'

A smile returned to everyone's face. Grandma thanked God and fed the poor with that food.

In the evening, Shivani asked Grandma, 'You still haven't told me about my true friend?' 'Tell me, who helped us when we were in trouble this morning?' 'God did! Oh, that means God is our true friend,' Shivani said happily."
