Saw the following
little fable in an email and thought it fit pretty well with Sunday's sermon. A
little story about life and getting along with each other in pretty much any
situation. Thought it was worth passing along for something to think about. Fable of the porcupine It was the
coldest winter ever. - Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines,
realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they
covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their
closest companions. After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from
the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a
choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the
Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live
with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions
in order to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able
to survive. Hope to see you in the pews on Sunday..... |
