Sand and Stone
Posted by: amazingraze <amazingraze@...>
Two friends were walking through the desert. At some point during the
journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in
the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he
wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."
They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to
take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started
drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the near
drowning, he wrote on a stone: "Today my best friend saved my life."
The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him,
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it
down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away, but when
someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind
can ever erase it."
Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your blessings in
stone.
I WAITED patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my
cry.
Psalms 40:1
God Bless you!
