He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. A little discouraged, he headed back to dinner. As he was walking back, he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly - hit the duck square in the head - and killed it! He was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching. Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch that day, Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes." But Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then she whispered to Johnny, "remember the duck?" So, Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said "I'm sorry, but I need Sally to help make supper." But Sally just smiled and said, "Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help." She whispered to Johnny again, "remember the duck?" So - Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help. After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's he finally could not stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed her duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, "Sweetheart I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing. Because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you." Thought for the day: whatever is in your past, whatever you have done that the ENEMY keeps throwing up in your face (lying, debt, fear, hatred, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, abortion, etc.) whatever it is... Jesus Christ was standing at the window. He saw the whole thing! Jesus wants you to know He loves you and that you are forgiven. He is just wondering how long you will let the enemy make a SLAVE of you. The great thing about God is that He not only forgives you, but He FORGETS! Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today. Share this with a family member or friend. Remember, Jesus is at the window! SHARE WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVEPASS THIS ON SHOW YOU CARE-SHARE DESIDERATA DESIDERATA GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE & HASTE, & REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE. AS FAR AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT SURRENDER, BE ON GOOD TERMS WITH ALL PERSONS. SPEAK YOUR TRUTH QUIETLY & CLEARLY; AND LISTEN TO OTHERS, EVEN THE DULL & IGNORANT; THEY TOO HAVE THEIR STORY. Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchanment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with GOD. Whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Do It Anyway People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered;Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuseyou of selfish, ulterior motives;Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win someunfaithful friends and some genuine enemies;Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincerepeople may deceive you;Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creatingothers could destroy overnight;Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness,some may be jealous;Be happy anyway. The good you do today,will often be forgotten.Do good anyway. Give the best you have,and it may never be enough;Give your best anyway. In the final analysis,it is between you and God;It was never between you and them anyway. ��������������������� Words of Inspiration by Mother Teresa Tell-A-Friend HOME PAGE NEXT PAGE 30HOME PAGE
