Hi everyone,

Chrissy is on her way back from England .

Here is a simple story someone sent to me - READ & DO

NAIL IN THE FENCE

Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.



 

(Most importantly the last sentence)



 

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.



 

Finally the day came when the boy didn't



 

lose his temper 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 very rare jewels, indeed. They



 

make you smile and encourage you to succeed.



 

They lend an ear, they share words of praise



 

and they always want to open their hearts to us."



 

Show your friends how much you care.

 

Send this to



 

everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if



 

it means sending it back to the person who



 

sent it to you. If it comes back to you,



 

then you'll know you have a circle of friends.



 

YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!



 

Now send this to every friend you have!!

 

And to your family.



 

Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole.

 



Stay fervently focused,
Much love,
BERNARD
