Food for thought, good morning.

💙 _*A man was asked to paint a boat.*_ 💙 *He brought with him paint and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright red, as the owner asked him*. 💙 While painting, he realized there was a hole in the hull and decided to repair it. 💙 *When finished painting, he received his money and left.* 💙 The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him with a nice check, much higher than the payment for painting. 💙 The painter was surprised: - You've already paid me for painting the boat! - he said. - But this is not for the paint job. 💙 It's for having repaired the hole in the boat. - *Ah! But it was such a small service ... certainly it's not worth paying me such a high amount for something so insignificant!* 💙 - My dear friend, you do not understand. Let me tell you what happened. 💙 *When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention about the hole.* 💙 When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip. 💙 *They did not know that there was a hole.* I was not at home at that time. 💙 When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was desperate because I remembered that the boat had a hole. 💙 Imagine my relief and joy when I saw them returning from fishing. 💙 *Then, I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole! You see, now, what you did?* You saved the life of my children! I do not have enough money to pay your "small" good deed. 💙 *So, no matter who, when or how. Just continue to help, sustain, wipe tears, listen attentively and carefully repair all the "leaks"* you find, because you never know when one is in need of us or when God holds a pleasant surprise for us to be helpful and important to someone. 💙 You may have repaired numerous "boat holes" along the way, of several people without realizing how many lives you've saved. 💙 *In the midst of a world full of darkness and evil, everyday we must propagate all that God taught*- to *LOVE* our neighbors as yourself. Your day n night shall be favored and blessed. AMEN.
