Care for each other.
A Japanese builder decided to renovate his house. There were places that he had to break open the walls to do complete renovations. Japanese houses are built with hollow spaces between the wooden walls. While he was tearing down one of the walls he found a lizard with a nail driven through it's foot. The builder had pity for this lizard, the same time he was curious for the lizard was still alive.
The house that the builder was renovating was built 5 years ago, and no nails were driven into the wall from since. The builder thought that this could have meant just one thing; the poor lizard was stuck to the wall for 5 years! How could this lizard have survived that long time in such small dark place without moving! It is impossible! the builder had thought.
The Japanese builder stop with what he was doing to watch the lizard. While he was watching the lizard, another lizard suddenly arrived with food in it's mouth. The lizard that arrived with the food started carefully feeding the lizard that was stuck to the wall untiringly, never giving up on it's partner. This builder was stunned and deeply touched by this humble act; it seemed this was going on for 5 years.
This builder imagined how it was that a small creature like that could do something incredible and beautiful, when humans that have brilliant minds, so often fail to even care for another.
Lesson from this.
Let us take the lesson that life gives us through two lizards, to never abandon your love ones. Never say you are to busy when they really need you. You may have the entire world at your feet. Did you think that you could be the only one in THEIR world. A moment of negligence might break the very heart which LOVED you against all odds. Make time and take time to care for your loved ones! There is one great thing to keep in mind before you want to help others outside "CHARITY STARTS AT HOME" make sure to keep your wife and kids in mind.
Till we speak again
Be blessed and the best is still to come
