Thought That Matters

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato

garden, but it was very hard work. :cry:

His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man

wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation. :-(

Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able

to plant my potato garden this year.

I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved

planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden

plot.If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would

dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison.

Love, Dad

………

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

“For Heaven’s sake, Dad,don’t dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried

the GUNS!” At 4a.m.

the next morning,

A dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the

entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what

happened, and a sked him what to do next.

His son’s reply was: “Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the

best I could do for you from here.”

- Moral Of the Story

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD,

IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT.

IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS.
