And the final one
-- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked
to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly
gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little
boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat
there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy
said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
When there is
nothing left but God that is when you find out that God is all you need. Take
60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small
prayer for the person who sent you this.
Father,
God bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may need this
day! And may their life be full of
your peace, which transcends all understanding. Amen.
!?!?!?!
