SANDS OF FORGIVENESS!

This story is about two friends who were out walking through the desert. During the journey they got into a heated 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 have a cool drink, take a bath and freshen up. The friend who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his 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 today my best friend slapped me in the face and now, you write on a stone, today my best friend saved my life, why?"
The other friend replied
"When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can blow 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 BLESSINGS 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.  

Do not value the MATERIALISTIC THINGS you have in your life..
But value WHO you have in your life!
