Parable of the Spoons

GravyGurl

This has always been one of my favorite things to read. I don't think I really
need to say much more then what it says.
Just that I thank you all for not being greedy.

And I must say this... don't feed into the drama queens in life... here, there, wherever. They are only trying to push your buttons to get a reaction because of something that is missing in their own lives... don't feed into it.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy :flowerforyou:



The Parable Of The Spoons (A Beautiful Story)

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said,
"Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like. "The Lord led the holy man
to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.
In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the
Table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth
water.

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared
To be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles and each found it
possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was
longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, "You have seen Hell."

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same
As the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of
Stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the
same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump,
laughing and talking. The holy man said, "I don't understand."

It is simple" said the Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see, they
Have learned to feed each other.
While the greedy think only of themselves.
