To A Friend
Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles.
Since they were going the same way, he helped carry part of the burden. As they walked, Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he was having trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his long-time girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill's house first and Mark was invited in for a Coke, and to watch some TV. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some small talk, then Mark went home. They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then they both graduated from junior high. They ended up at the same high school where they had brief contact over the years.
Finally, the long-awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill reminded him of the time years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide."
"But, after we spent some time together, talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time, and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did alot more---you saved my life."
Every little hello, every little smile, every helping hand saves a hurting heart. Pass it on. There's a miracle called Friendship that dwells in the heart. You don't know how it happens, or when it gets started, but you know the special lift it always brings and you realize that Friendship is a precious gift of God!! Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and they encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us.
Show your friends how much you care...Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even the person that sent this to you. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a FRIEND for lifs. Show your friends how much you appreciate them and what they mean to you...
Yesterday is History
Tomorrow is a Mystery, but
Today is a Gift.
That's why it's called "The Present"
