Wassalam,
The One of Orang Nggantengs di Bandung
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home
after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San
Francisco. "Mom and Dad I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have
a friend I'd like to bring home with me." "Sure," they replied, "we'd love to
meet
him." There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt
pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost
an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come
live with us." I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find
somewhere to live." No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone
with such a handicap would be terrible burden on us. We have our own
lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our
lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy.
He'll find a way to live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents
heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received
a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling
from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide.
The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the
city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him,
but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know,
their son had only one arm and one leg.
The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it
easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but
we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel
uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as
healthy, beautiful, rich, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there's
someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an
unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless
of how messed up we are. Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the
night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you
need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more
understanding of those who are different from us!!! There's a miracle
called Friendship That dwells in the heart You don't know how it
happens Or when it gets started. But you know the special lift It always
brings And you realize that Friendship Is God's most precious gift!
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and
encourage you to succeed They lend an ear, they share a word of praise,
and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how
much you care....
