cut for length b/c i'm not reformatting, but this is an email i received today. it has a message that we all overlook in every day life, but one worth trying to live. today, and every day, i'm thankful for my revolving door that brings people in and out of my life, whether i see or talk to them weekly or monthly or whether they are here for a month or a year. and i'm thankful for those people and my rocks that are always here, without them, and without my son and unborn, chris, beth, my family, jamie (both), i would be lost.
A story tells that two friends
were walking through the desert.
During some point of 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,
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 the 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 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.
They say it takes a
minute to find a special
person, an hour to
appreciate them, a day
to love them, but then
an entire life to forget them.
Send this phrase to
the people you'll never
forget.
Take the time to live!
Do not value the THINGS
you have in your life. But value
WHO you have in your life!
