I got this story, and it really touch me..the most precious thing comes from within not from what that can be seen..thats wonderful..
Sometimes its so hard to focus on what within myself..as there're so many things outhere always try to keep my mind on myself-efforts.. makes me sometimes forget that its God the source of strength and light, He is the only one who supposed to get my attention..He is the only one who stay in my heart..and He is the precious one..the one and only... forever...

The Wise Woman's Stone
A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation.
The traveler left rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.
“I’ve been thinking,” he said. “I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Please give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone.”
Sometimes it’s not the wealth you have but what’s inside you that others need.
