You make me smile.


The Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His father gave him a bag of nails and told him
that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer
a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger,
the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than
to drive those nails into the fence at all.

He told  his father about it and the father suggested that the boy
now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father
that all the nails were gone.  The father took his son by the hand
and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son,
but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.
When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.
You can put a knife in a man and draw it out.

It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry,
the wound is still there.

A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
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.
Show your friends how much you care today.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND
and tell the person who sent it to you.


If it comes back to you,
then you'll know you have a circle of friends.
