Deep Thought
Friday
My posts are usually about My Life Lessons. These are the things I’ve
lived through, witnessed and now talk about how they’ve affected me. In some
instances, these things still affect me. While some of those things are actual facts/events, some are
readings and information that is passed on to me.
I want to change things a little. I want
this new “Deep Thought Friday” series
to be more than a casual stop on my blog for the latest read.
I want to allow you to come up with your
own conclusion to a situation… with your own moral of the story. I want to see
if you can connect with a particular story in such a way that it will give you
a sense of purpose, a new direction or perspective, and maybe just maybe -
think deeper and further than usual.
As you read, discuss the moral in each
story with your spouse or partner, or with a close friend. Connect every story
with yourself. Challenge yourself. Think about what you’ve learned from the story
and what change you can bring to your life.
This week “Deep Thought Friday” is about SPOKEN WORDS CAN'T BE RETRIEVED
“A
farmer insulted his neighbor Realizing his mistake, he went to the preacher
to ask for forgiveness. The preacher told him to take a bag of feathers and
drop them in the center of town. The farmer did as he was told. Then the
preacher asked him to go and collect the feathers and put them back in the bag.
The farmer tried but couldn't as the feathers had all blown away. When he
returned with the empty bag, the preacher said, "The same thing is true
about your words. You dropped them rather easily but you cannot retrieve them,
so be very careful in choosing your words."
Take time to understand the story... What meaning do you take away from it? what lesson(s) are you learning from it?...
