SAND
OR STONE?
A story tells
that two friends were walking through the desert. In a specific 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 anything to say, he 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 got slapped and hurt started drowning,
and the other friend saved him. When he recovered from the fright, he wrote
on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE"
The friend
who saved and slapped his best friend, asked him, "Why, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now you write on a stone?"
The other friend,
smiling, replied: "When a friend hurts us, we should write it down in the sand, where the winds of forgiveness get in charge
of erasing it away, and when something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone of the memory of the heart, where
no wind can erase it"

=============================================
Are you a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime?
Pay attention
to what you read. After you read this, you will know the reason it was sent to you!
People come
into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each
person.
When someone
is in your life for a REASON. . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsent,
and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without
any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to
an end.
Sometimes they
die.
Sometimes they
walk away.
Sometimes they
act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must
realise is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer
you sent up has been answered.
And now it
is time to move on.
When people
come into your life for a SEASON .
Because your
turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something
you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships
teach you lifetime lessons, things you must buildupon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept
the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is
said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
