Food For Thought For Monday, September 19th, 2011
Once upon a time an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested. Days later the young man was proven innocent. After he was released he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.In court the old man told the Judge: "They were just comments, they were not meant to harm anyone."The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man: "Write all the things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut them up and on the way home; throw the pieces of paper out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence."
The next day, the judge told the old man: "Before receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of paper that you threw out yesterday."
The old man said: "I can’t do that! The wind spread them and I won’t know where to find them."
The judge then replied: "The same way, simple comments may destroy the honor of a man to such an extent that one is not able to fix it. If you can’t speak well of someone, rather don’t say anything." Moral: Let’s all be masters of our mouths, so that we won’t be slaves of our words

Fences: A Blog Post
Sometimes words can do more damage to your soul and personality that it can take months to repair the person you thought you were. Recently, I inflicted serious emotional injuries on someone very close to me, not realizing that instead of being there as a person, I became an aloof prick . The change was not sudden, but sad to say it took me a few days to see how far I had drifted on the person I used to be. What is the point of growing up or having all the material wealth in the word when I managed to push people who fill my heart and soul with love?
In just a few minutes, I created a fence for that special someone who is now barbed with hurt, distrust but most of all disbelief that I could be this way. The excuses are many, but the reality is I forgot for a bit how incredibly lucky I am to have the people I do in my life. Sure, there are some new additions but I have been truly given gifts that I have not treated invaluable
In the end, words are easy to say and fling around but the journey back to love will take time, and I will need to once again prove why I am the best choice. It has not helped at all that what I did was in front of people who think very less of me now, and it definitely has taken away a lot of the privacy I desired (ironic, I know since I am blogging about it but here at least it’s in generalities). Now, I have to face some when all I want to do is wish I was invisible and never be seen again. But I deserve it so it shall be. The fence was created by me, and instead of keeping someone close to me, I managed to create a divide…

The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. “Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he replied.” I know I can’t help having troubles on the job, but one thing’s for sure, troubles don’t belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again.” He paused. “Funny thing is,” he smiled, “when I come out in the morning to pick ’em up, there ain’t nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.” |

With Love…
A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we live!
Have a seat. Relax . . ..
and read this slowly.
I Believe…
That just because two people argue,
It doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.
And just because they don’t argue,
It doesn’t mean they do love each other.
I Believe…
That we don’t have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.
I Believe….
That no matter how good a friend is,
they’re going to hurt you,
every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.
I Believe…..
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I Believe…
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.
I Believe….
That it’s taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.
I Believe…
That you should always leave loved ones with Loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.
I Believe….
That you can keep going long after you think you can’t.
I Believe….
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.
I Believe…
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I Believe….
That heroes are the people
who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.
I Believe….
That my best friend and I
can do anything or nothing
and have the best time..
I Believe….
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones to help you get back up.
I Believe…
That sometimes when I’m angry
I have the right to be angry, but that
doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.
I Believe…
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had
And what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.
I Believe…..
That it isn’t always enough,
to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn
to forgive yourself.
I Believe…
That no matter how bad
your heart is broken,
the world doesn’t stop for your grief.
I Believe….
That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are, but,
we are responsible for who we become.
I Believe…
That you shouldn’t be
so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.
I Believe….
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.
I Believe…
That your life can be changed
in a matter of hours
by people who don’t even know you.
I Believe…
That even when you think
you have no more to give,
When a friend cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.
I Believe…
That credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.
I Believe…
That the people you care about
most in life are taken from you too soon.
I Believe…
That you should send this to
all of the people that you believe in.
I just did.
‘The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything they have.
