#TIMETOMAKETHESOUP by #AllenAj Davis #AjthetrainerPRMediaDavis ~As I shoveled the #snow and gathered up the remnants and scraps from the local buthcher’s shop, I wondered why they were strewn all over the place. I asked the butcher, “Why all this mess?” The old butcher hung up his knives, wiped his hands on a rag, then turned to me and said, “Young man, these are the shattered pieces from the carcass of your life.” I was confused, and didn’t reply for a short time. Finally, I spoke up. “But I asked for the finest cuts and the choice morsels. What am I going to do with these dog scraps?” The butcher gave me a long look, but said nothing. I asked again “Don’t I deserve the finest life has to offer?” The butcher smiled a strange smile, and said to me, “Son, take these broken pieces home. Put them in a pot and season them with your finest herbs & spices. Share them with the children, huddle together before the fire, and give thanks to The Almighty. For you, my friend are rich in spirit, and as you give, the return will be abundant.” Remember this friends: When you are hungry for living, and life has given you only scraps and fragments, the soup of life only tastes as good as the seasonings you put into it, and nourishes best when shared. #by #AjthetrainerPRMediaDavis (at Ajthetrainer Prmedia Davis)
