BE 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".
> Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. "Forgive & forget".
"From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it."
Matthew 11:12
