ystd went for cell group.. during sermon, yao hui was sharing with us a story.. i find it extremely touching, so i just wanna share it with you all so i'll just post it here..

The story goes..
Last time, there was the vietnam war.. A soldier went there for the war to fight for the US against the vietnamese..

So after the war, the man went back to the US.. he was at San Francisco and he gave his mum a call home..

"RING RING".. the phone rang..

Mum: Hi
Son: Hi mum, i'm back already..

Mum: That's great.. so u coming home?
Son: yeah i am but there is a problem..

Mum: What's the problem son??
Son: Well you see, i've met a new friend during the war, he was a mate of mine during the war and we fought side by side supporing one another.. and he's homeless..

Mum: Oh.. it's ok.. just invite him to come.. we will welcome him for sure..
Son: But mum.. there's a bigger problem..

Mum: What is it??
Son: Well you see, my friend he steped on a land mine during the war and lost an arm and a leg.. you sure it's ok..

Mum: Why didnt you tell me earlier..? is it ok if he stays along and san francisco.. bcoz i feel that if he stays with us, he will be a burden and bring alot of problem for us even if u were to look after him..

Suddenly, in a fit of anger, the son hung up the phone..

3 days later, someone knocked on the woman's door.. it was a policeman from San Francisco.. he said "madam, i have a matter that i'll need your help, is it ok that you come with me back to the station..?" The woman agreed and followed..

Instead, they headed for a hospital.. they went to a room where all the dead bodies are kept in the freezer.. the woman ask the officer what is she doing there.. and a drawer was open.. the police asked her "madam, is this your son??"

The woman looked into it.. on it lays her son.. with one arm and a leg missing.. she just broke down and wept uncontrollably..

End of Story

So what can we learn from it.. we gotta accept everyone who is around us.. love and treat them equally.. all old and young, able or disabled.. we gotta love them whole-heartedly.. the consequences is large to bear if we reject them.. who knows, you may experience what the woman has.. who knows, the nxt person who will call u and ask this qns may be ur own son or siblings or even ur spouse.. dont ever regret the decision you make.. treasure everyone around you...
