Foot prints in the sand

 

 


Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of Footprints in the sand: one belonging To him, and the other to the Lord.

 


When the last scene of his life flashed before him, He looked back at the footprints in the sand.

 


He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints.

 

 
He also noticed that it happened at the very Lowest and saddest times in his life.

 


This really bothered him and he Questioned the Lord about it:

 


"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow You, you'd walk with me all the way.

 


But I have noticed that during the most Troublesome times in my life, There is only one set of footprints.

 


I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."

 


The Lord replied:

 


"My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.

 


During your times of trial and suffering, When you see only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."

Black & White

 


I was convinced that "I" was right and "he" was wrong - and he was just as convinced that "I" was wrong and "he" was right.

 

 

 

The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. "White," he answered.

 


I couldn't believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time about the color of the object.

 


The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, "White." It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was white. Only from my side was it black.

 

 

 

My teacher taught me a very important lesson learned that day: You must stand in the other person's shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective .

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

 
(1)
 Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
 
(2)
Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
 
(3)
Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4)
Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
 
(5)
Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
 
(6)
That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
 
(7)
Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
 
(8)
Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
 
(9)
Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
 
* Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments
they can avoid if they remember the terminology.
 
* Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they know it's true!!!
