The son had to be rushed to a hospital. But the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father - with painful eyes, he asked, "Dad, when will my fingers grow back?"
The man was so hurt and remained speechless. He went to the place where his car was parked and kicked it many times over. Devastated by his own action, and so full of remorse, he looked at the scratches and saw what his son had written: "LOVE YOU, DAD".
Anger and love have no limits,
choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life.....
Things are to be used and people are to be loved,
but the problem in today's world is that people are used and things are loved...
Be sure to keep this thought in mind:
Things are to be used and people are to be loved....
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
JUST A HUMBLE APPEAL
As the father of four young girls, I was shaken the first time I read this story. I look at my daughters and tears started rolling down my cheeks. I said a simple prayer:
Lord, teach me to tame my temper,
help me to control my anger, always,
and be not hasty like the father in this story.
Give me the wisdom to discern what's right and wrong,
when to discipline and how far I should go.
In Jesus' name, Amen!
I'm so glad I found this story....
In a way I think it helped me to be a better father. I believe there are many parents out there who will benefit a great deal from this story. When you are through reading this story, please take the time to share it with someone.
If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; if you do, you will have ministered to someone.
