ACTIVITY 5

The story of CARPENTER'S GIFT tells us that no matter how complicated life is there's always someone who's willing to help.

As you observed people these days loved to dwell with others, that's because they cannot swallow their pride and therefore stand on what they believe is right.

Honestly, I've had a situation like this before, someone betrayed me, and the saddest part was they're my friends closest friends. It's hard to handle that kinda situation, and I almost forgot the word forgiveness. But someone lead me to the right way. He opened my eyes to the reality that whatever sin others done to you don't forget to forgive them because pride and hatred couldn't help you. He was right. Now, even people around me try to destroy my well-being, and my personality and even if they love to discriminate me and my family, I won't let my anger control me, instead I will still open my doors to forgive them. As what GOD did.

In relation to the story, if I choose between the fence builder and the bridge builder, I will choose the bridge builder, because being a bridge builder is a better way to make peace and it will lead you to the right way. While a fence builder will only making things more complicated.

The carpenter did the right thing ha made a bridge instead of a fence to make the two brothers learn to forgive each other. As for me, the carpenter of my life is GOD for he showed me the good results of forgiveness.

Let us all remember that, "to err is human; to forgive is divine".
