You are never Helpless

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to
spade his potato
garden, but it was very hard work. 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 4 a.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 asked 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.
