Thought for Today

While a man was polishing his  new car , his 4 year old son pick up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child’s hand and hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital the child lost all his fingers due to the multiple fractures. When the child saw his father….with painful eyes he asked, ”Dad when will my fingers grow back?” The man was so hurt and speechless he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times, Devastated by his  own action…  Sitting in front of his car  he looked at the scratches, the child had written ”LOVE YOU DAD”  (Unknown Author)

ANGER and LOVE have no limits. Choose the latter (LOVE) to have a beautiful life. Things are to be used and people are to be loved. A problem in today’s world is that people are used and things are loved. During the day, let’s be mindful and keep this thought in mind.. ”Things are to be used and people are to be LOVED.” Its better to control our anger before it controls us,  calm yourself down, and let the feelings subside or count to 10.

1 Peter 3:8  NKJV) says, “Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tender hearted, be courteous.”

Jesus is the only way.

Red rose from my garden . Life is as beautiful as a rose with the thorns.!! Enjoy it and share the love.
Dear Lord please help me to put people first before material things, stuff. Please help me to be calm when I am angry and to think before I act so that I do not speak words I will regret later. Amen.
