I received this email today and wanted to share it with the community:

Used vs Loved

While a father was polishing his new car, his 4 year old picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side. In a fit of rage, the father took the child's hand and hit it over and over. Not realizing he was using a wrench, he rushed his son to the hospital. Due to multiple fractures his son lost all his fingers.

The boy looked at his father with painful eyes,staring at his heavily bandaged right hand and asked, "Daddy,when will my fingers grow back?"

The father hurt and speechless, began to sob. Returning to his car, he kicked it repeatedly. Falling to the ground and devastated by his own actions, he looked closely at the scratches, his son had written, "LOVE YOU DADDY."

The next day the father committed suicide.

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful,lovely life.

Things are to be used and people are to be loved, but the problem in today's society is that people are used and things are loved.

During the course of today, keep these things in mind:
Things are to be used, but people are to be loved.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions
Watch your actions ; they become habits
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character... it becomes your destiny.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions
Watch your actions ; they become habits
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character... it becomes your destiny.

I love these words!! They are a great reminder to us all each day! Thank you for sharing this!
