Unconditional Love - motivating......

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home
after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from
San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I
have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."

"There's something you should know the son continued, "he
was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land
mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go,
and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find
somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking.
Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on
us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something
like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come
home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his
own."

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard
nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they
received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had
died after falling from a building, they were told. The police
believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San
Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the
body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror
they also discovered something they didn't know, their son
had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy
to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around,
but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us
feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people
who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.
Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way.
Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how
messed up we are.........

And Finally
"Conclusion Is a Place Where We are Tired Of Thinking...."!!!
