One word can change your life

         So, imagine that you are getting angry or upset with someone. Things are said, and mistakes are formed. Has this type of a situation ever happen to you before? It has definitely happened to me. I was scrolling down Pinterest, you know looking for DIY crafts and all that jazz when I came across a really good story.

    The story is about a boy who needs help dealing with his anger. His Father had come up with an idea. His idea was for whenever the boy got mad and did wrong, to hammer a nail into a fence. Pretty soon, the fence had a lot of nails in it! But, the boy's behavior had improved. The boy comes up to the Father telling him that he does not need to hammer anymore. The father, of course, pleased, said that whenever you do good or handle a situation correctly, remove a nail from the fence. After all the nails are gone, the boy proudly marches up to his Dad and tells him. The Father says " Now, look at the fence, what do you see?" The boy answers saying " Holes. I see holes where the nails were."  The Father tells the boy" You can apologize and whoever may forgive, but things will never be the same and will never be forgotten. Do you understand?" The boy nods.


    Take a minute to think about what you're going to say to someone, because, Each time you don't, a new hole, scar and memory is created.
