WHEN SOMEONE HURTS YOU...
Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument and one friend slapped the other one in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:
'Today my best friend slapped me in the face.'
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
'Today my best friend saved my life.'
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, 'After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?'
The friend replied, 'When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand, where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.'
Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
How Can You Love and Hurt The One You Love?
My friend and brother from another mother, Iyke Okafor wrote this note on FB. I begged for his permission to share it with you guys. I hope you enjoy it.
Understand Domestic Violence first before you commit to it, calling it love!
Love doesn't call you bad names, misused you, confuse you, or sell you.
Love doesn't treat you like dirt, keeping you in denial, taking away your right to live.
Love doesn't make you feel like you are worthless, no one cares, no one wants you.
Love doesn't keep you down in the dumps, living a low life, hustling and bustling.
Love doesn't give you black eyes, and busted lips, choking you, kicking you, leaving you naked.
Love doesn't make you a slave, shelter you inside your home, never looking up, only down.
Love doesn't make you sick on the stomach, cause you to throw up, keeping you bowels loose.
Love doesn't take advantage of your body, making you have sex against your will, doing things that isn't right.
Love doesn't take all of your money, your paycheck, leaving you without.
Love doesn't leave you stranded on the roadside causing you to walk.
Love doesn't give away all that you have work for, leaving you homeless.
Love doesn't threaten your life, by a gun or knife, sometimes cutting your skin.
Love doesn't scratch you up, or bite on your skin.
Love doesn't bang you up with flying objects, or throw you against a wall or push you down.
Love doesn't behave unseemly, leaving you to be used in front of other men and women.
Love doesn't hurt you, make you feel abusive pain, it doesn't scar up your face and body.
I can tell you what Domestic Violence will do, it will do all of these things that is listed , very undermining, and excuses of ill will that "they", he or she can't get help, or "they", he or she are sick and need help. Domestic Violence will trap you, take your beauty inside out, and leave you bitter,
and lonely. Domestic Violence will give you back low-esteem, and no courage or will to live.
Domestic Violence is a Pledge of Mental Illness, and Anger, Loneliness, Abandonment, and Fear & Death to a Coffin in Your Grave. So many Sisters, and Brothers are dead and gone, don't allow this to be you, leave, and do it quickly, if it means leaving everything behind, leave it, change phone numbers also.
Don't tell anyone, only someone you can truly trust, saying you are leaving, or have left. I Desire and Pray for You to Live, My friend had to choose, she did it, and she is Alive today. Thank God and Amen!
Peace!
Even Children Know the Difference between God's Sent and...

I will be back soon. Love you guys. I am out.
