Sand and Stone
The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped
the other one in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything,
wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they
decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and
started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
"Today my best friend saved my life."
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him,
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone.
Why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should
write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when
someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind
can ever erase it."

They say it takes a minute to find a special person an hour to
appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.
Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget. It's a short
message to let them know that you'll never forget them
Take the time to live.
I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth
out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Isaiah 43:25
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will
subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the
sea. Micah 7: 19
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you:But if ye forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Mattew 6 : 14-15
