Stop and Think

This story was about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.

"Mom and Dad, I am coming home. I have a favor to ask. I have a friend I would like to bring with me."

"Sure," they replied, "we'd like to meet him."

"There is something you should know. He was hurt pretty bad in fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He has no where else to go, and I want him to come and live with us."

"I am sorry to hear that son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere else to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you are asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."

At that point the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they got a phone call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, so they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror, they also discovered something they didn't know. Their son only had one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story were like many of us. We find it easy to love the ones who are good looking or fun to have around but we don't like people who inconvenience us, or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there is someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are. Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and help us all to be more understanding of those who are different from us. There's a miracle called -FRIENDSHIP - which dwells in the heart. You don't know how it happens or when it gets started. But you know the special lift it always brings and you realize that FRIENDSHIP is God's most precious gift! Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. So today, tell your friend how much you care for them and treasure that friendship with that special person forever.
