A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his
mother who lived two hundred miles away. As he got out of his car he
noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. 

He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose
for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents and a rose costs two
dollars.  The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a
rose." He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's
flowers. 

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, "Yes,
please!  You can take me to my mother." She directed him to a cemetery,
where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave. The man returned to the
flower shop, cancelled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the
two hundred miles to his mother's home.

A little boy was told by his doctor that he could save his sister's life
by giving her some blood. The six-year-old girl was near death, a victim
of disease from which the boy had made a marvelous recovery two years
earlier.  Her only chance for restoration was a blood transfusion from
someone who had previously conquered the illness. Since the two children
had the same rare blood type, the boy was the ideal donor.

"Johnny, would you like to give your blood for Mary?" the doctor asked. 
The boy hesitated. His lower lip started to tremble. Then he smiled, and
said, "Sure, Doc. I'll give my blood for my sister." Soon the two children
were wheeled into the operating room- Mary, pale and thin; Johnny, robust
and the picture of health. Neither spoke, but when their eyes met, Johnny
grinned.  As his blood siphoned into Mary's veins, one could almost see
new life come into her tired body.

The ordeal was almost over when Johnny's brave little voice broke the
silence, "Say Doc, when do I die?" It was only then that the doctor
realized what the moment of hesitation, the trembling of the lip, had
meant earlier. Little Johnny actually thought that in giving his blood to
His sister he was giving up his life! And in that brief moment, the Final
decision that he had made was the greatest love of all... the
unconditional sacrificing love... 

**********************************************************************
Sacrificing PART of what you have is human's nature, but sacrificing ALL
of what you have needs a lot of LOVE. Nowadays people always think of what
they can get in return before giving, if the return is less than their
givings, then they will be reluctant to give.

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived. 
Happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all of others including love. 

However, one day it was announced to the couples that the island would
sink, so all prepared their boats and left. Love was the only one who
stayed. Love wanted to stay until it started sinking. When love was almost
sinking she decided to ask for help. 

Richness was passing by love in a beautiful boat. Love said, "Richness,
can you take me with you?"  Richness answered,"No, I can't. There are a
lot of gold and silver here.  There is no place for you." 

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by.  "Vanity, please help
me!"  "I can't help you Love, you are all wet and can probably damage my
boat."  Vanity answered. 

Sadness was closed by Love, so Love asked for help.  "Sadness, let me go
with you."  "Oh, Love, I am so sad that I prefer to go alone."  Happiness
passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she didn't listen when Love
called her. 

Suddenly, there was a voice,"Come with me, Love. I'll take you." It was an
elderly. Love became very happy that she even forgot to ask the name of
the elderly. When they arrived to the other side, Love asked Knowledge who
the elderly was.  "It was Time."  "Time? Why did Time help me?"  "Because
only Time is capable understanding such a great Love"
