What we have or Who we have?

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 SAN D WHERE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY. BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES!
SOMETHI NG 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 LIFETIME TO FORGET THEM.
TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE, TAKE TIME TO LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE WHO YOU HAVE
IN YOUR LIFE!

Amen, Helen. We could lighten the load we have to carry if we could just get rid of the grudges we hold onto.
Thanks for the thought, Tia.

It hits home a lot whn it comes to my dad. There are a lot of things that I still hold on to, but I try to not let it effect me. But when it all comes down to it... I love him and that is what matters.

Great story Tia! To forgive someone who has hurt us is one of the most difficult things. It is also one of the most important. Lighten the load so you can fly!
may peace surround you, joy fill your sails, and love give you courage!
