Sand and Stone!
A story tells of two friends who 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, she 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 her friend saved her. After she recovered from the near
drowning, she wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE"
The friend, who had slapped and saved her best friend, asked her, "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 the winds of forgiveness can erase it, but when someone does
something good for us, we must engrave it in stone, so no wind can ever
erase it."
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BLESSINGS IN STONE.

HIS blessings will be CARVED into our stony hearts until our hearts become as irresistible sand and His Holy Spirit comes and blows us away!
Just a thought I had after reading your post. Thank you! It was lovely....
Peace be to you

Great message! Most of mankind has it backwards; they carve the hurts in stone and write the blessings in sand.
