A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile-zone, when a police car came behind him with the light on.
As the policeman came to him, he said, "Hi, officer, I guess you caught me a little bit over the limit. I was in a rush to get home, to be with my wife and kids, you know my younger son wasn't feeling too well when I left home this morning."
The policeman said, "Well, I guess so,'' and started writing something in his notebook. . A few moments later, the policeman came to his window and handed him a paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man started to wonder, how much this ticket was going to be as he began to look at the paper.
"I had a daughter who was killed by a speeding car at the age of six, by a speeding driver like you. He got a fine, a few months in prison, and was free, free to hug two other daughters. I have tried to forgive that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive him, but I have to do it again, even right now. "
The man was very surprised and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove slowly, even a few miles under the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
A.So pray for me and be careful when you drive again, my son is all I have left. |
B.I only had one, and now I have to wait I go to heaven before I can hug her again. |
C.As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was still writing. |
D.He was surprised it was not a ticket but a receipt. |
E.So pray for you, and be careful when you drive again, your daughter is all you have left.
F.Right away the man started thinking of excuse to give.
G.He was surprised it was not a ticket as he began to read.
