WORTH READING 5 Jul 2005

BE PATIENT

A man came out of his home to admire his new truck.

To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents
into
the shiny paint of the truck.

The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's
hands
into pulp as punishment.

When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although
the
doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to
amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands.

When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he
innocently said, " Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked,
"but
when are my fingers going to grow back?"

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u
wish
to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u
love. Trucks can be repaired. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't.

Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the
performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions
we
take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget.
Love
one and all.
