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 BENEFITS 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 and remember to send
it also to the person who sent it to you. It's a short
message to let them know that you'll never forget them.
If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a
hurry and that you've forgotten your friends. Take the
time to live!!!
"May the Lord of peace himself give you His peace
no matter what happens. The Lord be with you all."
2 Thessalonians 3:16
