    Used vs. Loved

    While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr. old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.

    In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, 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 speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

    Devastated by his own actions...sitting in front of the car he looked at
    the scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide.

    Anger and Love have no limits; choose the Love 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.

    Let's be careful to keep this thought in mind:
    "Things are to be used, but People are to be loved".

    Be yourself.... This is the only day we HAVE. Make it a great day!

    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.

    I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder. God bless you; I hope you are having a wonderful day!

    Good one florge, heard this one before and it was really heart breaking....
    Makes you realize how much you need to value people more than things....

    Nice one Florge!.
    BTW i have made a research already.... so talk to you soon!...
    " The people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best" don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes....
    They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by... "

    Very nice words florge, but heart breaking though..
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
