BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened.

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 recognise 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.
