The Wooden Bowl

 The  Wooden Bowl

I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now,
a year from now.

A  frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and  four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.
The  family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There,  Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction,  sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp  admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One  evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He  asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?'  Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
'Oh,  I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.
The  four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For  the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason,
neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that  you can tell a lot about a person by the way  he/she handles four things:
a  rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've  learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life.'

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throwsomething back sometimes.
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you.But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can,
happiness will find you.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.

People love that human touch -- holding  hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

DEALING WITH INSULT....Buddha

The Buddha explained how to handle insult and maintain compassion.

One day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."

Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered,

"It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."

The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."

"If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy."

The young man listened closely to these wise words of the Buddha. "You are right, Enlightened One, "he said. "Please teach me the path of love. I wish to become your follower."

The Buddha answered kindly, "Of course. I teach anyone who truly wants to learn. Come with me."

Simple Truths (jokes)

SIMPLE TRUTH 1

Partners help each other undress before sex.
However after sex, they always dress on their own.

But, none of them come and touch the man's penis and say "Good job".

Kind of expect a hand to appear when I flash a cheque

Meat glue? Nowadays, do we really know what we eat?
