Our Parents

Pencil: I'm sorry....


Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.


Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake,
you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you
lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.


Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this.
I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day,
I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with
my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always
there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way...
they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on). Though their
children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy
with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

He shouted with fury:  I  am the only preacher in this area.  Where did this monk come from ?   He flung the mirror on the ground and it broke into many pieces.   If he was a wise man, this would not have happened.   What is wisdom ?   Wisd

A Touching Life Story

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning  of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and  told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful   wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought
