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.

In the sudden rush of rage, 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 am sorry about your truck." Then he added asking, "but Daddy, 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 you wish to take revenge. Think first before you lose you patience with someone you love.
Trucks can be repaired and can look as good as new. But broken bones & hurt feelings often can't.

Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People do make mistake. We are allowed to make mistakes. But actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive and forget.
Love one and all.
