Building Bridges
This history says that, once two brothers who lived on neighboring farms, separated by a creek, came into conflict.
It was the first major disagreement on a whole life working side by side, sharing tools and taking care of each other.
For years they've come a very long and narrow road that led along the river for at the end of each day, they can cross it and enjoy one another's company. Despite the fatigue, made the trek with pleasure, because they loved each other.
But now everything had changed. What started with a small misunderstanding finally exploded in an exchange of harsh words followed by weeks of total silence.
One morning, the elder brother heard someone knocking at your door. As he opened it he noticed a man with a carpenter's toolbox in hand.
I'm looking for work - He said.
Maybe you have a little service I can perform.
Yes! - Said the farmer - of course I have work for you. See that farm beyond the creek. It's my neighbor. In fact, my younger brother. We fought and I can not stand it.
- See that pile of wood near the barn? I want you to build a very high fence along the river so I do not need to see him.
I think I understand the situation - said the carpenter. Show me where the shovel and the nails that I will surely do a job that will leave you satisfied.
As needed to go to town, the older brother helped the carpenter to find the stuff and left.
The man worked hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing. Already getting dark when he finished his work.
The farmer came home from his trip and his eyes could not believe their eyes. There was no fence!
Instead of the fence there was a bridge connecting both banks of the creek.
It was a really nice job, but the farmer was enraged and said you were too racy building this bridge after all I told him.
However, the surprises were not over. When looking back to the bridge, he saw his brother approaching the other side, running with open arms.
For a moment stood motionless on his side of the River. But suddenly, in a single impulse, rushed toward each other and hugged one crying in the middle of the bridge.
The carpenter was leaving with his toolbox when the brother who hired him asked him excited: "Wait! Stay with us a few more days."
And the carpenter said, "I'd love to stay, but unfortunately, I have many more bridges to build."
And you're needing a carpenter, or is able to build their own bridge to approach those with whom broke contact?
Think about it!
People who are on your side, are not there by chance.
There is a very special reason for them to be part of your circle of relationship.

Think about it!
People who are on your side, are not there by chance.
There is a very special reason for them to be part of your circle of relationship.
If you are, between two distant hearts. follow the example of the carpenter.
Be you, the hand from Allah (cc), in order that heart joins ' the halves ' of alone.
But, do quickly. The time is short. The life passes quickly.

But, do quickly. The time is short. The life passes quickly.
So do not seek to isolate from who love you so much by building fences that separate and disgraced beings.
Build bridges to walk and look towards those who, perchance, you are apart.
And if the bridge interface is a little weak, or shaking because of the winds of discord, it strengthens the ties of understanding and true love from Allah(cc).
In doing so, you will meet your needs and find the emotional inner peace you desire.also, your duty, in this dunnya.
May Allah(cc) join our hearts, in order that we carry out the wishes, the commands of Allah (cc) in our lives. amin
