all are same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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. Show your friends how
much you care.
