WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR?
(10/5/2001)
Three friends die in a car accident, and upon their arrival to heaven, they are all asked, "When you are in your casket and family and friends are mourning upon you, what would you like to hear them say about you?"
The first man says, "I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor of my time, and a great family man."
The second man says, "I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference in our children of tomorrow."
The last man replies, "I would like to hear them say, 'LOOK! HE'S MOVING!'"
It was about forty years ago, before I went to become a monk, that I was walking in the street and saw a workman carrying out an operation of welding a piece of metal by oxygen and thispiece of metal was submitting to his blazing fire until its welding was complete... So I said to myself, why do we complain and protest and object when God uses with us His process of welding by oxygen?
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Don't give God instructions-- just report for duty!
