Prison Help

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison.

Love,

Dad

 

Shortly, the old man received this telegram: ‘For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried the GUNS!!’

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what had happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son’s reply was: ‘Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I could do for you, from here.’

MORAL: NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS, NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS.

Ten things God won't ask:

1...God won't ask what kind of car you drove;
He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.

2...God won't ask the square footage of your house,
He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

3...God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet,
He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.

4...God won't ask what your highest salary was,
He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

5...God won't ask what your job title was,
He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.

6...God won't ask how many friends you had,
He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

7...God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived,
He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.

8...God won't ask about the color of your skin,
He'll ask about the content of your character.

9...God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation,
He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.

10...God won't ask how many people you forwarded this to,
He'll ask if you were ashamed to pass it on to your friends.

COMO MANTER-SE JOVEM

1. Deixe fora os números que não são essenciais. Isto inclui a idade, o peso e a altura. Deixe que os médicos se preocupem com isso.

2. Mantenha só os amigos divertidos. Os depressivos puxam para baixo.
(Lembre-se disto se for um desses depressivos!)

3. Aprenda sempre:
Aprenda mais sobre computadores, artes, jardinagem, o que quer que seja. Não deixe que o cérebro se torne preguiçoso.
'Uma mente preguiçosa é oficina do Alzheimer!

4. Aprecie mais as pequenas coisas

5. Ria muitas vezes, durante muito tempo e alto. Ria até lhe faltar o ar.
E se tiver um amigo que o faça rir, passe muito e muito tempo com ele / ela!

6. Quando as lágrimas aparecerem aguente, sofra e ultrapasse.
A única pessoa que fica conosco toda a nossa vida somos nós próprios.
VIVA enquanto estiver vivo.

7. Rodeie-se das coisas que ama:
Quer seja a família, animais, plantas, hobbies, o que quer que seja.
O seu lar é o seu refugio.

8. Tome cuidado com a sua saúde:
Se é boa, mantenha-a.
Se é instável, melhore-a.
Se não consegue melhora-la , procure ajuda.

9. Não faça viagens de culpa. Faça uma viagem ao centro comercial, até a um país diferente, mas NÃO para onde haja culpa

10. Diga às pessoas que ama que as ama a cada oportunidade.
