“What most people need to learn in life is how
to love people and use things, instead of using people
and loving things.”

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a
stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man
took the child’s hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was
using a wrench.
.
At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple
fractures. When the child saw his father…..with painful eyes he
asked, ‘Dad when will my fingers grow back?’ The man was so hurt and
speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.
Devastated by his own actions……sitting in front of that car he
looked at the scratches; the child had written ‘LOVE YOU DAD’.
The next day that man committed suicide. . .

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful,
lovely life….. Things are to be used and people are to be loved,
But the problem in today’s world is that, People are used and things
are loved… During this year, let’s be careful to keep this thought

The preacher placed two identical jars on the table next to the pulpit. He quoted 1 Samuel 16:7, “For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
.
These jars came from the same factory, were made of the same materials, and can hold the same amount. But they are different, he explained.
.
Then he upset one and it oozed out honey. He turned over the other, and vinegar spilled out. When a jar is upset, whatever is in it comes out.
Until the jars were upset, they looked alike. The difference was within, and could not be seen. When they were upset, their Read More

THE LORD’S BASEBALL GAME
.
Freddy and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord’s team was playing Satan’s team.
.
The Lord’s team was at bat, the score was tied zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. They continued to watch as a batter stepped up to the plate named ‘Love.’
.
Love swung at the first pitch and hit a single, because ‘Love never fails.’
.
The next batter was named Faith, who also got a single because Faith works with Love.
.
The next batter up was named Godly Wisdom. Satan wound up and threw the first pitch.
.
Godly Wisdom looked it over and let it pass: Ball one. Three more

Just say, ‘Thank you, Lord.’”

St. Peter was giving a newly arrived soul a tour of heaven. The two of them were walking side by side inside a large workroom filled with angels.
.
St. Peter stopped in front of the first section and said, “This is the Receiving Section. Here, all the petitions sent to God in prayer are received.”
.
The soul saw that the section was a very busy one with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous sheets of paper from all the people of the world.
.
They resumed walking until they reached the second section. St. Peter told the soul, “This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings are packed and delivered to the petitioners down on earth.”
.
The soul saw how busy it was. There were a great many angels working in
