GIVE ME A PIECE OF SMOKED FISH
One day, an intense battle ended with the victory of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. So he wanted to reward those valiant soldiers of different nationalities who performed outstanding acts of bravery. "My brave soldiers," shouted Napoleon, "tell me what you desire and I will be obliged to perform it." The Polish hero said, "Give Poland it's independence”. The emperor agreed and said, "I will." The poor Czechoslovakian said, "I am a farmer, give me a piece of property to plant." The emperor said, "It's yours, my friend". The German said, "Give me a bar in which to drink beer." The emperor said, "Grant him a bar". Then it was the Jewish soldier's turn, so the emperor looked at him and, smiling, said, "How about you, my friend"?
The Jewish person looked at him timidly and with hesitation said, "My lord, if you don't mind, give me a piece of smoked fish". The emperor, surprised shrugged his shoulders with disapproval and said, "Give this man a piece of smoked fish".
After the emperor left, the other soldiers surrounded the Jewish man and said to him, "You fool, how dare you ask the emperor for a fish? Is that any way to treat the emperor."
The Jewish soldier immediately answered, "You'll see who the fool is! You asked for Polish
independence, a field, and a bar. The emperor won't give you these things! But I am realistic. I asked for a piece of fish, maybe he will give it to me!".

آية اليوم: لهذا يصلي لك كل تقي في وقت يجدك فيه عند غمارة المياه الكثيرة اياه لا تصيب انت ستر لي من الضيق تحفظني بترنم النجاة تكتنفني سلاه ( مز 32 : 6-7 )
حكمة اليوم : كثيرون ينتقدون الآخرون ، وقليلون من يهتمون بإصلاحهم . فالنقد سهل يستطيعه كل أحد ، ولكن إصلاح المخطئين ، هو العمل الروحى ، المملوء من المحبة العملية
