Great story from PW: Sand & StoneA story tells that two friends were walking throughthe desert. During some point of the journey they hadan argument, and one friend slapped the other one inthe face. The one who got slapped was hurt, butwithout saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MYBEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE."They kept on walking until they found an oasis, wherethey decided to take a bath. The one who had beenslapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning,but the friend saved him. After he recovered from thenear drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BESTFRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."The friend who had slapped and saved his best friendasked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sandand now, you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us weshould write it down in sand where winds offorgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone doessomething good for us, we must engrave it in stonewhere no wind can ever erase it."WE SHOULD ALL LEARN TO WRITE OUR HURTS IN THE SAND ANDCARVE OUR BLESSINGS IN STONE.

Thanks to LBS: What It Means To Be Poor...One day a father of a very wealthy family took his sonon a trip to the country with the firm purpose ofshowing his son how poor people can be. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm ofwhat would be considered a very poor family.On their return from their trip, the father asked hisson, "How was the trip?""It was great, Dad.""Did you see how poor people can be?" the fatherasked."Oh Yeah" said the son."So what did you learn from the trip?" asked thefather.The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and theyhad four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle ofour garden and they have a creek that has no end. Wehave imported lanterns in our garden and they have thestars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yardand they have the whole horizon. We have a small pieceof land to live on and they have fields that go beyondour sight. We have servants who serve us, but theyserve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs.We have walls around our property to protect us, theyhave friends to protect them." With this the boy's father was speechless. Then hisson added, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor weare."Too many times we forget what we have and concentrateon what we don't have. What is one person's worthlessobject is another's prize possession. It is all basedon one's perspective. Makes you wonder what wouldhappen if we all gave thanks for all the bounty wehave, instead of worrying about wanting more. Take joyin all you have, especially your friends.
