Hier volg drie stories wat handel oor vergifnes.
Gloudina
Lees die drie stories mooi en volgende keer dink voor jy skryf.Ek dink Emmy
kan ook maar lees.
Die stories is egter in Engels.
Storie 1
The Old Frog
Two small boys on opposite banks, starring at one another.
If not for the pond between the two, they could be mistaken for brothers.
Two little boys, with fresh young faces but old hatreds fill their eyes.
Glaring across at one another, with anger and despise.
"Why do you both feel this way?" croaks the old frog from his lily pad.
"What have you done to one another?" uncertain why they're mad.
"My father said, this is our way, that his side did us wrong."
"Well my uncle has said, your sides to blame." shouts a reply from across
the pond.
The old frog then looks at both of the boys and questions with dismay.
"How can these brothers someday soar together, if they're chained down by
yesterday?"

Storie 2
Forgiveness
A letter written to a man on death row by the Father of the man whom the man
on death row had killed:
You are probably surprised that I, of all people, am writing a letter to
you, but I ask you to read it in its entirety and consider its request
seriously. As the Father of the man whom you took part in murdering, I have
something very important to say to you.
I forgive you. With all my heart, I forgive you. I realize it may be hard
for you to believe, but I really do. At your trial, when you confessed to
your part in the events that cost my Son his life and asked for my
forgiveness, I immediately granted you that forgiving love from my heart. I
can only hope you believe me and will accept my forgiveness.
But this is not all I have to say to you. I want to make you an offer -- I
want you to become my adopted child. You see, my Son who died was my only
child, and I now want to share my life with you and leave my riches to you.
This may not make sense to you or anyone else, but I believe you are worth
the offer. I have arranged matters so that if you will receive my offer of
forgiveness, not only will you be pardoned for your crime, but you also will
be set free from your imprisonment, and your sentence of death will be
dismissed. At that point, you will become my adopted child and heir to all
my riches.
I realize this is a risky offer for me to make to you -- you might be
tempted to reject my offer completely -- but I make it to you without
reservation.
Also, I realize it may seem foolish to make such an offer to one who cost my
Son his life, but I now have a great love and an unchangeable forgiveness in
my heart for you.
Finally, you may be concerned that once you accept my offer you may do
something to cause you to be denied your rights as an heir to my wealth.
Nothing could be further from the truth. If I can forgive you for your part
in my Son's death, I can forgive you for anything. I know you never will be
perfect, but you do not have to be perfect to receive my offer. Besides, I
believe that once you have accepted my offer and begin to experience the
riches that will come to you from me, that your primary (though not always)
response will be gratitude and loyalty.
Some would call me foolish for my offer to you, but I wish for you to call
me your Father.
Sincerely,
The Father of Jesus
Storie 3
Heaven's Grocery Store
by Ron DeMarco
Copyright 1990
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.
One day I saw a sign that read, "Heaven's Grocery Store".
As I got a little closer the door came open wide,
and when I came to myself I was standing inside.
I saw a host of Angels, they were standing everywhere.
One handed me a blanket and said, "My Child shop with care".
Everything a Christian needs is in that grocery store,
and all you can't carry, come back the next day for more.
First, I got some Patience, Love was in the same row.
Further down was Understanding, needed everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of Wisdom, a bag or two of Faith,
I just couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, it was all over the place.
I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this race,
but then my blanket was getting full, and I remembered I needed Grace.
I didn't forget Salvation, which like the others was free,
so I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
for I thought I had everything to do my master's will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw Prayer and had to put it in,
for I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin.
Peace and Joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.
Song and Praises were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the Angel, "How much do I owe"?
The Angel smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again, I politely asked "How much do I really owe?"
The Angel smiled again and said, "My Child, Jesus Paid Your Bill A Long Time
Ago."
