Think Before You Act
A man came out of his home to admire his new truck.
To his puzzlement, his 3-year old son was happily hammering dents
into the shiny paint. The man ran to his son, knocked him away,
hammered the little boy's hands into a pulp as punishiment.
When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the
hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed
bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's
hands.
When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandaged
stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your
truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?"
The father went home and committed suicide.
Think about the story the next time you see someone spill milk
at a dinner table or hear a baby crying. Think first before
you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be
repaired. Broken homes and hurt feelings often can't.
Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the
person and the performance. People make mistakes. We are allowed to
make mistakes. but the actions we take while in a rage will haunt
us forever.
Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient.
Understand and love.
You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.
