G-O-S-S-I-P

I've been wanting to post kind this of article long time ago.The similar story I've ever read when I was teaching my private students a couple years ago.Then,I checked my private library next to our bedroom and I took a book " MORE STORIES  FOR THE HEART."

I marked some nice stories that could build our faith and encourage our minds. I'll attach another one next time.

Hopefully this story will teach us to be careful with what we say and do.

******************************************************

There is a story of a woman in England who came to her vicar with a troubled conscience.The vicar knew her to he an habitual gossip - she maligned nearly everyone in the village.

" How can I make amends? " she pleaded. The vicar said," If you want to make piece with your conscience,take a bag of goose feathers and drop one on the porch of each one you have slandered."

When she had done so, she came back to the vicar and said,"Is that all ?" " No", said the wise old minister," You must go now and gather up every feather and bring them all back to me."

After a long time the woman returned without a single feather." The wind has blown them all away," she said. " My good woman," said the vicar," so it is with GOSSIP. Unkind words are easily dropped,but we can never take them back again."
