Just got one forwarded message from good fren of mine. The message was really heart touching and make anyone emotional, though it is BITTER FACT ultimately,
I would like to have some of ur comments on this.
Enjoy reading...........
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought
in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like
to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly
in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has
nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a
handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we
can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just
come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."
At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from
him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco
police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The
police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco
and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They
recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't
know, their son had only one arm and one leg.
The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who
are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who
inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from
people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there's
someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional
love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we
are.
Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God
will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us
all be more understanding of those who are different from us!!!
There's a miracle called Friendship That dwells in the heart You don't know how
it happens Or when it gets started But you know the special lift It always
brings And you realize that Friendship Is God's most precious gift!
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to
succeed They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to
open their hearts to us.
Have a nice time..........
