I just read this in a Bulletin & besides reposting it, I had to stash it and blog it for everyone to READ.
----------------------------------------------
There were 4 children at church one day. 3 children were teasing this little girl. The little girl was crying and the pastor asked her what was wrong. She proceeded to tell him the children were teasing her.
Well the pastor took the three children in a room and asked them what was going on. The children said they were teasing the little girl but they apologized to her but she just kept on crying.
The pastor gave them each a paper plate. He put a bit of toothpaste on the plate and then told them to put the paste back in the tube.
He left the room and came back a few minutes later. The children tried and tried but could not put the paste back in the tube.
The pastor told them that is how when you say mean things to a person once you say it does not matter how much you apologize you can never take back what you say.
The moral of the story is:
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. BECAUSE AFTER YOU SAY SOMETHING NO MATTER WHAT IT IS IT CAN NEVER BE TAKEN BACK
