B E PATIENT
This is a true story which happened in the States. 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?"
The father went home & committed
suicide.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.
