  GOOD SAMARITAN..

  A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the

  Good Samaritan.

  She asked the class, “If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all

  wounded and

  bleeding, what would you do?”

  A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, “I think I’d throw

  up.”

..

  DID NOAH FISH?

..

  A Sunday school teacher asked, “Johnny, do you think Noah did a

  lot of fishing when

  he was on the Ark ?” “No,” replied Johnny.

  “How could he, with just two worms.”

..

  THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

..

  A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most

  quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23 .

  She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter.

  Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn’t remember the Psalm.

  After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.

  On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation,

  Ricky was so nervous.

  When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly,

  “The Lord is my Shepherd, and that’s all I need to know.”

..

  UNANSWERED PRAYER

..

  The preacher’s 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always

  paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon.

  One day, she asked him why. “Well, Honey,” he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages. “I’m asking the Lord to help me preach a

  good sermon.”

  “How come He doesn’t answer it?” she asked.

..

  BEING THANKFUL

..

  A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, “So your mother

  says your prayers for you each night?

  That’s very commendable.

  What does she say?”

  The little boy replied, “Thank God he’s in bed!”

..

  ALL MEN / ALL GIRLS

..

  When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family member, every friend, and every animal (current and past).

  For several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli

  would say, “and all girls.”

  This soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this closing.

  My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, “Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls?”

  Her response, “Because everybody always finish their prayers by saying ‘All Men’!”

..

  SAY A PRAYER

..

  Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his

  Grandmother’s house.

  Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.

  When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.

  “Johnny!

The Homeless Man

.

It was a cold winter’s day that Sunday. The parking lot to the church was filling up quickly. I noticed as I got out of my car that fellow church members were whispering among themselves as they walked to the church. As I got closer I saw a man leaned up against the wall outside the church. He was almost laying down as if he was asleep. He had on a long trench coat that was almost in shreds and a hat topped his head, pulled down so you could not see his face.

.

 He wore shoes that looked 30 years old, too small for his feet with holes all over them, his toes stuck out. I assumed this man was homeless, and asleep, so I walked on by through the doors of the church. We all fellowshiped for a few minutes, and someone brought up the man laying outside. People snickered and gossiped but no one bothered to ask him to come in, including me.

.

A few moments later church began. We all waited for the Preacher to take his place and to give us Read More

There were four clergymen who were discussing the merits of the various translations of the Bible.

..

One liked the King James Version because of its simple, beautiful English.

..

Another liked the American Revised Version best because it is more literal and came nearer to the original Hebrew and Greek.

..

Still another liked Moffat’s translation because of its up-to-date vocabulary.

..

The fourth minister was silent. When asked to express his opinion, he replied, “I like my mother’s translation best.”

The Bible: a timeless roadmap

The Bible gives timeless advice and direction on how to live a godly life

The Bible gives timeless advice and direction on how to live a godly life

 

..

My granddaughter has a Nintendo DS. My grandson had a PlayStation, but he broke the screen. Now he wants to play with her Nintendo DS all the time. I have warned both of them against this. They don’t share well. If something happens to her Nintendo DS, she’s going to be upset and he’s going to have to pay for it. Despite my warnings, she continues to let him play with it.

..

This morning she was looking for her Nintendo, and discovered that her brother had taken it to school which, of course, is not allowed by me or the school. So, the tears started falling because now she’s afraid it’s going to get taken away.

..

I warned them that no good would come of this, but they didn’t listen. Now, he’s broken two rules—mine and the school’s—and she is in tears.
..
Isn’t this scenario similar to our Christian walk? The Bible provides us with a roadmap to life. The Book of Psalms and Proverbs, in particular, are filled with timeless warnings, instruction and guidelines for living fruitful, fulfilling and godly lives. But we don’t listen, or we bend the rules to make them more accommodating. Then,  when we don’t heed the instructions or warnings in the Bible, we cry foul and wonder what went wrong.
..
After a morning of my granddaughter’s tears and turmoil, I found myself searching Scripture to get me back to my place of peace, and I found what I needed. Psalm 85:8 reads, “I will listen to what God the Lord will say; He promises peace to His

A MountainWings Moment — The Blessing Of Thorns‏

The Blessing Of Thorns
=======================

..

Sandra felt as low as the heels of her shoes as she pushed
against a November gust and the florist shop door. Her life had
been easy, like a spring breeze. Then in the fourth month of
her second pregnancy, a minor automobile accident stole her
ease.

..
 
During this Thanksgiving week she would have delivered a son.
She grieved over her loss. As if that weren’t enough, her
husband’s company threatened a transfer. Then her sister, whose
annual holiday visit she coveted, called saying she could not
come.

..
 
What’s worse, Sandra’s friend infuriated her by suggesting her
grief was a God-given path to maturity that would allow her to
empathize with others who suffer. “She has no idea what I’m
feeling,” thought Sandra with a shudder.
..


“Thanksgiving? Thankful for what?” she wondered aloud. For a
careless driver whose truck was hardly scratched when he rear-
ended her? For an airbag that saved her life but took that of
her child?

..
 
“Good afternoon, can I help you?”

..
 
The shop clerk’s approach startled her.

..
 
“I….I need an arrangement, “stammered Sandra. “For
Thanksgiving?

.. 
Do you want beautiful but ordinary, or would you like to
challenge the day with a customer favorite I call the
Thanksgiving Special?” asked the shop clerk.

..
 
“I’m convinced that flowers tell stories,” she continued.

.. 
“Are you looking for something that conveys ‘gratitude’ this
Thanksgiving?

..
 
“Not exactly!” Sandra blurted out. “In the last five months,
everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. ” Sandra
regretted her outburst, and was surprised when the shop clerk
said, “I have the perfect arrangement for you.”

..
 
Then the door’s small bell rang, and the shop clerk said, “Hi
Barbara…let me get your order.” She politely excused herself
and walked toward a small workroom, then quickly reappeared,

In God we trust

Posted: under "A Slice Of Life", Inspirationals.

How many times have we picked up United States’ coins or currency and noticed the verbiage “In God We Trust?” As Christians what if we were required to have our foreheads imprinted with the words “In God We Trust?” Could we boldly wear that imprint, or would we be living a lie?

..

Proverbs 3:5-6 tell us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Most of us like to think that we do that, but when the mortgage is due and God hasn’t answered our prayers by 5 p.m. on Friday, if we trust God, why do we need a Plan B?

..

I have a friend who, whenever I share my ideas and thoughts with her, always asks: “And, if that doesn’t work, what’s Plan B?” She sometimes gets upset with me because I’m learning to live without a Plan B. Don’t get me wrong, I know that if I plan to take the Amtrak to Washington D.C., I can’t just sit in a chair and expect to arrive at my destination because I trust that God will get me there. There’s some human responsibility that needs to occur. It’s prudent and
