A Love Story

A Love Story

Author Unknown

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.

Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat." Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh....Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.

Love realizing how much he owed the elder and asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

I've Learned

I've Learned By H. Jackson Brown, Jr. I've learned - that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I've learned - that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back. I've learned - that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it. I've learned - that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts. I've learned - that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something. I've learned - that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do. I've learned - that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I've learned - that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

What is Your worth?

Several years ago, a Pastor was posted to a church in a big town, Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride in a bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down after paying for the fare, he discovered that the bus-driver had mistakenly given him a little above his change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, ''You'd better give the excess back. It would be wrong to keep it.'' Then he thought again, ''Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. The driver won't worry about this little amount, moreover he makes so much money it won't affect him. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.....It doesn't matter...'' When he got to his bus-stop and was about to alight, he paused shortly at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, ''Here, you gave me excess change.'' The driver, with a smile, replied, ''Aren't you the new Pastor in town?'' ...
