Sand or stone

I always get these posts which admonish me to pass them along to friends. I have no better friends than you kids so here goes:

>A story tells that 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
>who got slapped was hurt, but without saying
>anything, 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 the mire and
>started drowning, but the 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 and saved his best
>friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote
>in the sand and now, you write on a stone,
>why?" The other friend replied: " When someone
>hurts us we should write it down in sand where
>winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But,
>when someone does something good for us, we
>must engrave it in stone where no wind can
>ever erase it."
>
>LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO
>CARVE YOUR 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 then an entire life to forget
>them.
>
>Send this phrase to the people you'll never
>forget . It's a short message to let them know that you'll never
>forget them.

That's why we have these wonderful things sent to us. They help us to express what we know to be true in our hearts. I just have to learn to keep these things in the forefront of my thoughts when things come up! We get angry over silly things but in the end they matter so little. Letting go and forgiving are such important things to learn to do!

God bless you all!
