A beautiful tale…..
And here it goes….
A man who regularly attended meetings with his
friends, suddenly without notice stopped
participating
After a few weeks, one very cold night, the
leader of that group decided to visit him
The beautiful tale…
He found the man at home, alone, sitting in
front of a fireplace where a bright and cosy fire
burned
The man welcomed the leader.
There was a great silence.
And…
The two men only watched the dancing flames
around the logs that crackled in the fireplace.
And…
After a few minutes the leader, without saying a
word, examined the embers that formed and
selected one of them, glowing most brightly of
all, removing it to the side with a pair of tongs.
Then he sat down again.
And…
The host was paying attention to everything,
fascinated. Before long, the ember flame
subsided, until there was only a momentary
glow and the fire went out soon.
And…
In a short time, what was previously bright light
and heat had become nothing more than a back
and dead piece of coal.
Very few words had been spoken since the
greeting
And…
Before preparing to leave, the leader with the
tongs picked up the useless coal and placed it
again in the middle of the fire. Immediately, the
ember was re-kindled, fuelled by the light and
heat of the burning coals around it.
And…
When the leader reached the door to leave, the
host said: ‘’Thank you for your visit and for your
beautiful lesson. I will return to the group”.
Why is the group extinguished?
Very Simple:
Because each member that withdraws takes fire and
heat from the rest
Its worth reminding the group
members that they are a part of
the flame
It is also good to remind us that we
are all responsible for keeping each
other’s flame burning and we must
promote union among us so that
the fire is really strong, effective and
lasting.
Moral….
Here, lets meet, learn, exchange ideas or simply
know that we are not alone. Lets keep the flame
alive.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR FIRE
Life is beautiful with friends and family!!!
