GATHERING FEATHERS

There was a lady in the congregation who often talked about a man she did not even know. She talked to the preacher who confirmed it was gossip and she should repent. She asked him what she should do? He said to take her pillow to a high place and rip it with a knife. She returned to the pastor. He asked her if she had followed his instructions. She said yes. He asked what happened and she told him feathers flew out of the pillow and were scattered by the wind. He then instructed her to go now and gather every feather. She hung her head sadly as she told him she could never gather all the feathers. The moral to the story is quite ovious. God bless, Linda
