A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said,
Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like."
The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and
the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round
table.
In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They
appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long
handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to
reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle
was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into
their mouths.
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, "You have seen Hell."
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly
the same as the first one. There was the large round table with
the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The
people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the
people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The holy man said, "I don't understand."
It is simple" said the Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see,
they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of
themselves."
When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you! Only 7% of
the people who read this will share it with others. 93% of people
won't forward this!
HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND PASS IT ON!!!!!
