Do You Quarrel(?)

Just Read the Following...

There were two old men

who dwelt together for many years and

who never quarreled.

Then one said to the other: "Let us pick a quarrel with each other like other men do." "I do not know how quarrels arise," answered his companion.

So the other said to him: "Look, I will put a brick down here between us and I will say 'This is mine.' Then you can say 'No it is not, it is mine.' Then we will be able to have a quarrel." So they placed the brick between them and the first one said: "This is mine." His companion answered him: "This is not so, for it is mine."

To this, the first one said: "If it is so and the brick is yours, then take it and go your way." And so they were not able to have a quarrel. ________________

"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." (Col 3:12-13) =========================== vmalpan@gmail.com
