The Carpenter

Thanks to Gary V.

Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into

conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side-by-side,

sharing machinery and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.

Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small

misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference and finally, it

exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox.

"I 'm looking for a few days' work," he said.

"Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?"

"Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you. Look across the

creek at that farm. That's my neighbor. In fact, it's my younger brother!

Last week there was a meadow between us.

He recently took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us.

Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll do him one better.

See that pile of lumber by the barn?

I want you to build me a fence an 8-foot fence -- so I won't need to see his place or his face anymore."

The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails

and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."

The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the

materials ready and then he was off for the day.

The carpenter worked hard all that day -- measuring, sawing and nailing.

About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.

The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all.

It was a bridge .. A bridge that stretched from one side of the creek to the

other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all! And the neighbor, his

younger brother, was coming toward them, his hand outstretched..

"You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."

The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge,

and then they met in middle, taking each other's hand.

They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder.

"No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.

"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said,

"but I have many more bridges to build."

Remember This...

God won't ask what kind of car you drove,

but He'll ask how many people you helped get where they needed to go.

God won't ask the square footage of your house,

but He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet,

but He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.

God won't ask how many friends you had,

but He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived,

but He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.

God won't ask about the color of your skin,

but He'll ask about the content of your character.

Saving Baby Koalas

Thanks to Lee

It is not common for a Koala to bear twins and, regrettably in this instance, the Mum was struck and killed by a passing car.

Fortunately, the driver stopped and took the mother to the local vet, not knowing she was dead, where it was discovered she had twins in her pouch.

Starts with a tiny koala being fed with syringe,

followed by a pictorial chronology of their growth.
