Winds Of Forgiveness

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 one who got slapped was hurt, but 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 had been slapped got stuck in there and started drowning, but his 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 him and saved his best friend asked him, "You wrote in the sand and now you wrote on a stone. Why?"

The friend replied, "When someone hurts you, you should write it in sand where winds of forgivness can erase it away, but when someone does somthing good for us where no wind can ever erase it."

Learn to write your hurts in sand and to carve yor 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 an entire life to forget them.

Do not value the things you have in life, but value who you have in life.

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
