GLENDA
Good Morning! There was a young boy who had a terrible temper. His dad gave him a hammer and some nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he was to hammer a nail in the fence. The first day he hammered 37 nails in the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned, it was easier to control his temper than hammer nails.
The number decreased every day, until finally, he was no longer angry and no longer hammering nails into the fence. His father was very proud of him and told him that each day that he controlled his temper, he needed to start removing the nails.
Finally, when the nails were all gone, the father told the boy to look at the fence. Although the nails were gone, the holes in the fence were there forever. That's the way it is when you say or do something to someone in anger. No matter how many times you say “I'm sorry,” the wound is still there.
Jesus said we are to love one another. And when we show love to others, we are showing love to him. Have a wonderful day!
