Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly....... Leave the rest to God.

One sunny day late January 2009 an old man approached the White House
from across Pennsylvania Avenue , where he'd been sitting on a park
bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, 'I
would like to go in and meet with President Bush. The Marine looked
at the man
and said, 'Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides
here.' The old man said, 'Okay' and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to
the
same Marine, 'I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.
'The
Marine again told the man, 'Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is
no longer
president and no longer resides here.' The man thanked him
and, again, just
walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the
very same U. S. Marine, saying 'I would like to go in and meet
with President Bush.
'The Marine, somewhat agitated at this point, looked at the man and
said, 'Sir,
this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to
Mr. Bush.
I've told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no
longer
resides here. Don't you understand?
'The old man looked at the Marine and said, 'Oh, I understand. I
just love hearing it.'
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, 'See you
tomorrow.'
CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT OBAMA!
