unconditional LOVE......
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 replies, ‘‘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 ihm 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 cant let something like this interfere with our lives.I think you should just come home and forget about this guy,He’ll find ay to live on his own.
At all point,the son hung up the phone.The parents heard nothing more from him.A few days leter,however,they received a call from the San Franciscopolice.Their son had died after falling from a building they were told. The police belive 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 ve don’t like people who inconvenience us make us feel uncomfortable.We would rather stay away from people who aren”t as healthy, beautiful,or smart ass we are.Thankfully there someone who wont tread us that way.someone who loves us with an unconditionally love that welcome us into the forewer family,regardless of how messed up we are.
