A Short Story :)

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 you wish to take revenge.
Think first before you lose your
patience with someone you 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". Love one and all.
