I read another short story with some lovely lessons & I believe it’s #TooGoodNotToShare ..

An elderly woman had two large pots, each hung on
the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect with no cracks.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.

BUT the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream and said ..

'I am the poor cracked pot and am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my
side causes water to leak out all the way back to
your house.'

The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are
flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other
pot's side?'

'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.'

For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.

Without you being just the way you are, there would
not be this beauty to grace the house.'

#MoralOfTheStory

Each of us has our own unique flaw.

Its the cracks and the flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.

You've just got to take each person for what they are and
look for the good in them.

Thanks 🙏 a lot for reading and if you liked it, kindly do share it with your near and dear ones
