Inspiring Story
This story base as my own experience..
When
I was in
high school, my boyfriend ever
apologized by giving a very
inspiring story .. He was
obedient son of
the church, and I love listening to the stories that he shared to me about the meaning of
life ..
and his way of
apologizing was really making me melt...
this is the story:
~~~
Long
ago there
was a young carpenter who always
loves taking play time secretly on the sidelines when help his father. One day, he made a mistake because went to home too
late.
His
father was
not angry but just said, "Son, you made a mistake plug one nail into the wooden beam that is in our garage." because he has been put through a mistake, he did what his father said.
In
the next days he made mistakes, but father only said, “plug one more nail into the wooden beams in the barn.” And when each makes a mistake, he always nail 1 spike into wooden beams until many nails were plugged into wood beams.
One
day, his father invited the child to the warehouse for picking nails on the wooden beams.
his
father asked, "Son do you understand dad’s reason that I want you nailed this one nail to the beam every you made a mistake?"
the kids just say no ..
The
father spoke while looking at the prints of the nails, "the nail is a mistake, this wooden beam is a heart. When you made a mistake to someone else, you've hurt him., And when he forgive you, there is scar in his heart. Did you see the nail marks on the block, son? nail had been removed but the scars still there .. "
The
son surprised, "dad ... I'm so sorry .. next time I'll try to not make mistakes so it will not leave a mark that can't be "
