LIFE Stories

“I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure . . . All was vanity and grasping for the wind.” – Ecclesiastes  2:10-11 . +++ In Greek mythology, King Tantalus offended the gods and was punished in the underworld. He was placed in a lake in water up to his chin, but whenever he attempted to satisfy his burning thirst the water receded. Over his burning thirst the water receded. Over his head were branches laden with choice fruit, but when he tried to satisfy his hunger they eluded his grasping hands. Tantalus, therefore, became the symbol of utter frustration. Even today his name is remembered in the English word Tantalize. +++ Outside of a relationship with God, many things in life are tantalizing but unrewarding. The author of Ecclesiastes pursued happiness through knowledge, pleasure, riches, and work. Nothing satisfied the hunger in his soul. So he wrote, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity” (1:2). It was only when he focused on knowing and pleasing God ( 12:13-14 ) this he found li

Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as we live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace. If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would. Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture and going to church. It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day. You are the apple of His eye even though we, too, have been bruised by a fall. He stopped what He was doing and picked you and me up on a hill called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged fruit. +++ Ben Kingsley was the actor who starred as the main character in the motion picture GANDHI. He spent months preparing for the role, visiting the various Indian locales Gandhi had frequented. He even learned to spin cotton thread on a wooden wheel while holding conversations as Gandhi did. If you see the movie you will notice, the physical resemblance between Gandhi and Kingsley was al

"…I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands..." – Isaiah 49:15-16. +++ A certain child lived off the income of its parents. It is, after all the natural way that children are nurtured. He received food, clothing, shelter and education. He got an allowance, and finally, when he went to university, his parents sent him money each month to pay his room and board. The child used to communicate each week with his parents, but, as his life got busier, he would forget to write or call, and he would not be home when his parents called him. Each month however his cheque arrived in the mail. Over time, as the child need's grew and he spent more money on things he wanted, he found that it was very difficult to meet his payments for books and clothing and food. Finally, desperate and afraid, he wrote his parents and asked for more money. The parents either couldn't or wouldn't send the desired money and told him so. They soon received a terse r

"So I [Paul] ask you to follow my example and do as I do. That is the very reason I am sending Timothy—to help you do this. For he is my beloved and trustworthy child in the Lord. He will remind you of what I teach about Christ Jesus in all the churches wherever I go.” – 1 Corinthians  4:16-17 . +++ Once a shepherd was trying to get his flock to cross a stream. He went into the water and called his flock, but no, they wouldn't follow him. So he picked up two lambs and, with one tucked under each arm, he plunged into the stream and crossed it without even looking back. When he lifted the lambs the old sheep looked up into his face and began to bleat for them. But when he plunged into the water, the sheep plunged in after him, and the whole flock followed. When they got to the other side he put down the lambs, and they were quickly joined by their mothers. In another incident, contrariwise, a visiting speaker to a high school, spoke to the student body about the perils of smokin

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death [or through the darkest valley], I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” – Psalm 23:4. Let this story be a simple reminder that God is always with you regardless of the storms of life, and wants you to know that the sun will rise again upon your life and overshadow every obstacle that you had to go through. +++ "One night while my young son was sleeping, a storm began brewin outside. After a massive lightening followed by a loud clap of thunder, I heard him wake up so I headed toward his room to comfort him. He asked me to stay with him until he fell asleep. As I lay there I realized he hadn't asked me to make the storm go away, but to stay with him. +++ How many times, I wondered, have I asked God to take away the storms of life, when instead I need to ask him to stay with me and help me face and withstand with courage them more peacefully? Just as a hymn writer put

We don't always understand why things happen in contrary to our expectations. But we need to remember that God is the One who sees the picture and He sometimes accomplishes the goal at hand in different ways than we would expect it. Just because God does it differently in ways that we do not always understand, I want you to be confident and know that God is in control and will always bring good out of the bad that we see. +++ Once there was a man who asked God for a flower and a butterfly. But instead God gave him a cactus and a caterpillar. The man was sad. He didn’t understand why his prayer was not answered. Then the man thought, “Oh well, God has so many people to care for,” and he decided not to question God. After some time, the man went to check up on the cactus and the caterpillar. To his surprise, from the thorny and ugly cactus, a beautiful flower had grown. And the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed into the most beautiful butterfly. +++ God always does things ri

It is important that we always have a humble heart and not think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think.  The Bible says in Proverbs  16:18 , “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” "Humble yourself before the Lord and He will lift you up." – James  4:10 . +++ One beautiful spring day a red rose blossomed in a forest. The rose turned its head and remarked, “It seems that I am the most beautiful plant in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns!” The pine tree said, “Red rose, what kind of talk is this? Who can say what beauty is? You have thorns too.” The proud red rose looked angrily at the pine and said, “I thought you had good taste! You do not know what beauty is at all. You cannot compare my thorns to that of the cactus.” “What a proud flower”, thought the trees. The rose tried to move its roots away from the cactus, but it could not move. As the days passed, the red rose would

The concept of the Holy Trinity - one God in three and three in One - has always been a difficult concept to grasp. +++ The story is told of St Augustine of Hippo, a great philosopher and theologian. He was preoccupied with the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity. He wanted so much to understand the doctrine of one God in three persons and to be able to explain it logically. One day he was walking along the sea shore and reflecting on this matter. Suddenly, he saw a little child all alone on the shore. The child made a whole in the sand, ran to the sea with a little cup, filled her cup with sea water, ran up and emptied the cup into the hole she had made in the sand. Back and forth she went to the sea, filled her cup and came and poured it into the hole. Augustine drew up and said to her, “Little child, what are you doing?” She replied, “I am trying to empty the sea into this hole.” “How do you think,” Augustine asked her, “that you can empty this immense sea into this tiny hole and with t

One women saw 3 saints in front of her house. And she was not knowing any of them.  Women said –  “kindly come inside and have food” Saint replied – "is your husband inside the house? ” Women – “no, he has gone out” Saint –“will come inside the house only when he has come” In the evening the woman's husband comes home and she tells the complete story about the saints.  Husband – “go and tell them I have come home and invite them inside the house.” Women went out and called the saints inside the house.  Saint said – “we all dont go inside anyones house together. ” “but why?” – women asked One of the saint replied – “my name is wealth”  Then he pointed  to other saints and said – “these two saints names are prosperity and love" Only one of us can come inside your house!  "U go in and discuss with your family and decide which saint you want to invite ” Women went inside and told all this to her husband.  Her husband became too excited And said –“if this is the matter th

I believe greatly in spending time with the Lord because only through fellowship with God can we experience the love and peace in this life. The Bible declares in Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee.” If life is getting overwhelming and you don't know what to do; go to the One who holds the universe in the palm of His hand and you will find the peace that surpasses all understanding. +++ In an ancient temple, a number of pigeons lived happily on roof top. When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple feast the pigeons relocated themselves to a Church nearby. The existing pigeons in the Church accommodated the new comers very well. Christmas was nearing and the Church was given a facelift. All the pigeons to move out and look for another place. They were fortunate to find a place in a Mosque nearby. The pigeons in the Mosque welcomed them happily. It was Ramadan time and the Mosque was repainted. All the pigeons now came to

Once, a lady with her family was staying in a 3-star hotel for a picnic. She was the mother of a 6 month old baby.  "Can I get 1 cup of milk?" asked the lady to the 3-star hotel manager. "Yes madam", he replied. "But it will cost 100 bucks".  "No problem", said the lady. While driving back from hotel, the child was hungry again.  They stopped at a road side tea stall and took milk from the tea vendor "How much?” she asked the tea vendor. "Madam, we don't charge money for kid's milk", the old man said with a smile. "Let me know if you need more for the journey". The lady took one more cup and left. She wondered, "Who’s richer? The hotel manager or the old tea vendor? Sometimes, in the race for more money, we forget that we are all humans. Let's help someone in need, without expecting something in return. It will make us feel better than what money can. Coffee never knew that it would taste so nice and swee

It is important that we don't put so much emphasis on the physical aspects of life, but we should focus more on the spiritual aspect, which is eternal and will not perish like the material things of this world.  Paul tells us, “Do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.  For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." Material greed is foolishness in the eyes of God and how many people waste their life in pursuit of what God gives freely those who love Him. +++ An American tourist's visited a priest, Hofetz Chaim, and was astonished to see that the priest home was only a simple room filled with books plus a table and a bench. The tourist asked, 'Reverend Father Chaim, where is your furniture?' 'Where is yours?' replied the priest. 'Mine?' asked the puzzled American.  But I'm a visitor here.  I'm just passing through'. "So am I', said the priest.&qu

Come to think of this?....... 1. Eternal life = free 2. Church entrance = free 3. Christ's salvation = free 4. God's love = free 5. Breath of life = free A. Cigarette = pay B. Prostitution = pay C. Alcohol = pay D. Nightclub entrance fee = pay E. Powers to rule the world = pay Then why are people paying for hell while PARADISE is free? Think twice Believe in Christ and you shall be saved..                     We always think of Valentine's day  Birth day Father's day Mother's day Children's day Our day, Farmer's day Teacher's day Christmas day Independence day Boxing day, This day, That day, Day in Day out. Have you ever thought of Judgement Day, is it going to be a day of celebration or condemnation for you? If your safe, what about your friends & loved ones. Show them love by telling them about the Judgement Day. Please pass this to your loved ones, let heaven be happy for u today. Please don't say later, do it now because tomorrow may be too l

“We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago” – Ephesians  2:10 . +++ A traveller was visiting a logging area in the Pacific Northwest. He watched with great curiosity as a logger, working alongside a mountain stream, would periodically jab his sharp hook into a log as it went past and separate it from the others. This visitor could not see any reason as to why the logger would grab certain logs and let others go by. When the visitor asked the logger about it, he replied, "These logs may all look alike to you, but I can recognize that a few of them are quite different. The ones that I let pass by grew in a valley where they were always protected from the storms. Their grain is rather coarse. But the logs that I have pulled aside come from high up on the mountains. They were beaten by strong winds from the time they were quite small. This toughens the trees and gives them a fine grain. We save these logs

Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life.  Never ask for a lighter rain, just pray to God for a better umbrella. - That is the attitude! 💚➖➖➖➖➖➖ Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship. It's not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till the very end. 💚➖➖➖➖➖➖ Some people always throw stones in your path. It depends on what you make with them; a Wall or a Bridge? - Remember you are the architect of your life. 💚➖➖➖➖➖➖ Search for a good heart, but don't search for a beautiful face, coz beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful. 💚➖➖➖➖➖➖ It’s not important to hold all the good cards in life, but it’s important how well you play with the cards you hold. 💚➖➖➖➖➖➖ Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end, remember God and pray, it’s just a bend, not the end.' - 💚➖➖➖➖➖➖ Have faith and have a successful life. One of the basic differences between God and humans is, God gives, g

“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” – 1 Corinthians  15:57 . Why did Joshua succeed where others did not? It’s vitally important to first say that the reasons all lay in Joshua’s own heart, not in his circumstances. That’s the difference between what happens for some people and what doesn’t happen for others. Success is in ourselves and God’s Word, not in our circumstances. +++ It was June 18, 1815, the Battle of Waterloo. The French under the command of Napoleon were fighting the Allies under the command of Wellington. The people of England depended on a system of signals to find out how the battle was going. One of these signal stations was on the tower of Winchester Cathedral. Late in the day, one letter at a time, it flashed the signal: "W-E-L-L-I-N-G-T-O-N- - - D-E-F-E-A-T-E-D- -." Just at that moment one of those sudden English fog-clouds rolled in. The news of defeat quickly spread throughout the city. The whole countryside wa

Read on..you will be touched too..!  After 21 years of Marriage, my Wife wanted me to take another Woman out to Dinner and a Movie. She said I Love You but I know this other Woman loves you too and would Love to spend some Time with You. The other Woman that my Wife wanted me to take out was my MOTHER who has been a Widow for 19 years, but the demands of my Work and my three Children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to Invite her to go out for Dinner and a Movie. 'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My Mother is the type of Woman who suspects that a Late Night Call or a Surprise Invitation is a sign of Bad News. 'I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you,' I responded. 'Just the two of us' She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much.' That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit Nervous. When I arrived at her House, I noticed that she too see

I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality… I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. “God”, I asked, “Can you give me one good reason not to quit?” His answer surprised me… “Look around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo?” “Yes”, I replied. “When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light.I gave them water.The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor.Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said. “In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.” He said. “Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignifica

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." – Psalms 118:1. +++ "What can I do for you, Madam?" Abraham Lincoln asked an elderly lady who had been ushered into his office. Placing a covered basket on the table, she said, "Mr. President, I have come here today not to ask any favour for myself or for anyone. I heard that you were very fond of cookies, and I came here to bring you this basket of cookies." Tears trickled down the gaunt face of Lincoln. He said nothing for a moment, then he said, "My good woman, your thoughtful and unselfish deed greatly moves me. Thousands have come into this office since I became President, but you are the first one to come, asking no favour for yourself or somebody else." +++ Did you hear those words Lincoln said? "Your thoughtful and unselfish deed greatly moves me." Do you suppose that if we were to come into the Lord's presence to bring Him something, namely praise and than

A teacher teaching Maths to six-year-old Brian asked him, “If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?” With a few seconds Brian replied confidently, “Four!”  The dismayed teacher was expecting an effortless correct answer (three). She was disappointed. “May be the child did not listen properly,” she thought.  She repeated, “Brian, listen carefully. It is very simple. You will be able to do it right if you listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?” Brian had seen the disappointment on his teacher’s face. He calculated again on his fingers. But within him he was also searching for the answer that will make his teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he replied, “Four...” The disappointment stayed on teacher’s face. She remembered Brian loves strawberries. She thought maybe he doesn’t like apples and that is making him lose focus. This time with exaggerated excitement and twinkling eyes she

READ and TRY to UNDERSTAND the DEEPER MEANING of THEM.     1). PRAYER is not a "spare wheel" that YOU PULL OUT when IN trouble, but it is a "STEERING WHEEL" that DIRECT the RIGHT PATH THROUGHOUT LIFE.   2). Why is a CAR'S WINDSHIELD so LARGE & the REAR VIEW MIRROR so small? BECAUSE our PAST is NOT as IMPORTANT as OUR FUTURE. So, LOOK AHEAD and MOVE ON.  3). FRIENDSHIP is like a BOOK. It takes a FEW SECONDS to BURN, but it TAKES YEARS to WRITE.   4). All THINGS in LIFE are TEMPORARY. If they are GOING WELL, ENJOY them, they WILL NOT LAST FOREVER. If they are going wrong, don't WORRY, THEY CAN'T LAST LONG EITHER.  5). Old FRIENDS are GOLD! NEW friends are DIAMONDS! If you GET a DIAMOND, DON'T FORGET the GOLD! To HOLD a DIAMOND, you ALWAYS NEED a BASE of GOLD!  6). Often when WE LOSE HOPE and THINK this is the END, GOD SMILES from ABOVE and SAYS, "RELAX, SWEETHEART; it's JUST a BEND, NOT THE END!"  7). When GOD SOLVES your PROBLEMS, yo

"Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.” – Colossians 4:6. +++ Once a man had a tough day at the office when everything imaginable had gone wrong. To make matters worse, he had left the office late and was trying to rush – but hit every red light on the way home. As he was about to enter the house, he heard a noise in the garage. He entered, and saw his 3-year-old daughter Amy with an open Fevicol jar. She looked up and said, "Hi Dad! Did you have a good day?" The man surveyed the situation and blew up: "Amy! I've told you not to touch that Fevicol jar if it gets all over the floor – that stuff's impossible to clean up. And look, you have already dropped some of it on the floor. You're responsible for all this little girl and I’m going to deal with you once I change.” Amy just looked at her dad for a second, then stood up, put her arms out, and hugged him. "Dad

Powerful  Prayer ------------------------ This prayer takes about one minute! Pray it sincerely, and then those you send it to, will pray for you!     Father, in the Name of Jesus, bless me even while I'm reading this prayer and bless the one that sent this to me in a special way.  Open supernatural doors in our lives today. Save and set free! Give us a double portion of your Spirit as we take back everything that the Devil has stolen:     Emotional Health, Physical Health, Finances, Relationships, Children, Jobs, Homes, Marriages.     I cancel every plot, plan and scheme the enemy has devised against us in the MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS. And I declare:  NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US WILL PROSPER.     I speak LIFE into every dead situation. And, I thank you that nothing is over until YOU say it's over! I speak  prophetically into our lives and to our situations:    Our households are blessed;  Our health is blessed;  Our marriages are blessed;  Our finances are blessed;  Our busines

Do you know what the most common craving is among pregnant women? (I'm sure this is factual.) The most common craving among pregnant women is not spicy food, pickles or ice cream. Not even close. It is for Men to get pregnant. Why? Because then they would know what it is like. Then they might be more patient. What most women need during times of cravings, discomfort, swollen ankles and morning sickness is...understanding. Much of our conflict is the result of Misunderstanding. I hope this message encourages and inspires your heart to look past any imperfections that you may find in others and know that just as you would seek for another chance, so must we allow others that same opportunity. +++ As a new bride, one woman moved into the small home on her husband's ranch in the mountains. She put a shoe box on a shelf in her closet and asked her husband never to touch it. For 50 years he left the box alone, until his life partner was old and dying. One day when he was putting thei

Jesus said, "And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.” – Matthew  10:42 . +++ A successful man known for his generosity was driving his new car through a poor part of town. A boy tried to flag him down. The man didn't want to get involved, so pretended he didn't see the child. As he slowed for a red traffic light, he heard a loud crash. Someone had thrown a brick at his car, denting the trunk. The man stopped, jumped out of his car and grabbed the boy that threw the brick. "You juvenile delinquent!" he yelled. "You'll pay for this or go to jail!" "I'm sorry, mister," the boy cried. "My mom's lying on the floor in our apartment. I think she's dying. Our phone's been cut off and I've been trying for ten minutes to get someone to stop. I didn't know what else to do! Take me to jail, but please, call a doctor for my mom first." The man was fille

"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” – 2 Corinthians  3:18 . +++ Once when Leonardo de Vinci was forty-three years old, Duke Ludovinco of Milan asked him to paint the dramatic scene of Jesus' last supper with his disciples. Working slowly and giving meticulous care to details, he spent three years on the assignment. He grouped the disciples into threes, two groups on either side of the central figure of Christ. Christ's arms are outstretched. In his right hand, he holds a cup that was painted beautifully with marvellous realism. When the masterpiece was finished, the artist said to a friend, "Observe it and give me your opinion of it." "It's wonderful!" exclaimed the friend. "The cup is so real I cannot divert my eyes from it." Immediately Leonardo took a brush and drew it across the sparkling cup

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John  3:16 . +++ A powerful story is told about a mountain school that had a hard time keeping a teacher. It seems there was a group of big, rough boys who took pride in running the teacher off. The biggest and roughest of them all was named Jim. A new young teacher won over the boys, however, by letting them write the rules for the school—which were very strictly enforced with a rod. For example, cheating would be punished with five strokes of the rod, and stealing with ten strokes, both to be given with the offender's coat off. Everything went well until one day Jim's lunch was stolen. A frail little boy in hand-me-down clothes that were too big for him admitted his guilt. The school rules demanded that he be whipped. When the teacher called the little fellow up front, he came whimpering and begging to leave his coat on because he had no

"For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.” – Psalm 27:5. +++ In her bestseller book, The Hiding Place, Corrie Ten Boom tells of the tense times in Holland during the German invasion. One night when there was bombing and shelling happening all around the house where she and her sister lived, Corrie couldn't sleep. Hearing her sister in the kitchen, she decided to go down and join her. Long into the night after all the bombing ceased and all was silent, Corrie returned to her bed only to find that her pillow—right where her head lay—had been pierced with a sizable piece of sharp metal shrapnel from an exploding bomb! Going downstairs to the kitchen saved her life! She rushed to tell her sister saying, "Betsie, if I hadn't heard you in the kitchen……" To this her saintly sister interrupted, "Don't say it, Corrie. There are no ifs in God's world. The centr

  THINKING ON A HIGHER LEVEL.  Aim for a higher level of thinking.  Don't allow negative thoughts to influence what you say or do.  You are better than that.  You are stronger.  Take undisciplined irrational thoughts captive.  Train your mind to transcend low level negativity.  Strive to think on Godly level.  And set your mind and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth Col 3:2 Higher level thoughts go beyond the negative and take you to a Place of positivity.  A heavenly place where the Glory of God resides.  There you will find peace, victory, healing, and deliverance.  Pls Meditate put this into practice it will change your life your destiny.  Good Morning Praise Jesus  God has  Blessed You and your Family

JESUS COULD HAVE COME AND HEALED LAZARUS WHEN HE WAS STILL ALIVE. INSTEAD, HE WAITED TO RAISE HIM FROM THE DEAD WHEN HE WAS ALREADY IN HIS GRAVE. God could have made David become king the day after he was anointed. Instead, He waited 15 years to rise to the throne, many of those years spent fearing for his life, hiding out and running away from his own father-in-law. God could have spoken to Moses in the desert about sending him to help free His people from slavery 40 days after he ran away from Egypt. Instead, He made him wait for 40 long years. God could have gotten Joseph out of prison one year after he was sentenced there. Instead, he was stuck in that dungeon for 10 years before he was finally set free. God could have given Abraham the son He promised him when he was still a young man. Instead, He waited until he was 100 years old and because of physical reasons would have a more difficult time conceiving at that age. God could have answered prayers and met the needs of these men

Dos and Don’ts while at Mass- Fast: It doesn’t even really feel like a fast anymore since its just an hour. The Church requires every communicant to begin preparing to receive Jesus by observing an hour fast (from food) unless they’re aged or sick. Won’t really cost much to give this little to receive God into your soul would it? Come early, recollect yourself: Sometime ago i asked on our wechat page “When is one late for Mass” some said with confidence “When they come later than the Sign of the Cross”. I disappointed them by reminding them that the Mass actually begins with the procession. I usually advise people to make effort to be in Church at least 10-15 minutes before the actual time in order to have some time to pray and recollect; to begin the Mass in the right spirit. When it becomes a habit to arrive late, it ceases to be a real celebration for the person, and if it becomes a habit (especially Sundays) it begins to become sinful. Eating? It is inappropriate to find a grown pe

There was a young man in Kansas City who realised that he had the natural talent for cartooning.  He sent many application letters to many media houses but none of them were willing to employ him.  Fortunately for him a church decided to employ him to run their adverts for them. He did not have a place to stay so he approached the Pastor with his predicament. The Pastor told him that the church had an abandoned one room building on the premises and was told to check if he will stay there. He went to see the room and it was a mice infested room.  He had no choice but moved in. The room became both his bedroom and studio with the mice as his room mates.  These mice inspired this young man and he developed the multi billion dollar entertainment brand MICKY MOUSE and now the world famous entertainment center called Disney land in California and Disney world in  Florida.   The name of this young man is Walt Disney.  Questions 1. Why should a  Pastor employ a cartoonist?  2.  Why did the Pas

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his [Jesus Christ's] appearing.” +++ Arthur Berry was a charming man who loved only the finest things life had to offer. During the Roaring 1920s he was a master thief who stole from only the wealthiest people. Berry was eventually caught and spent the next 18 years in prison. After serving his sentence he moved to a small town in New England where he led a quiet life. Some years later word got out who he was and his true identity was revealed and a horde of reporters came to interview the notorious thief. One reporter asked him, "Do you remember who it was that you stole the most from?" Berry replied, "The person that I stole the most from was Myself. I could have made a contribution to society. I could hav

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left. They were moving to a smaller house because they could not afford to stay in the present house after paying the doctor's bills. Only a very costly surgery could save him now and there was no one to loan them the money.  When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother with whispered desperation, 'Only a miracle can save him now', the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her piggy bank from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully.  Clutching the precious piggy bank tightly, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the local drugstore. She took a quarter from her bank and placed it on the glass counter.  "And what do you want?" asked the pharmacist.  "It's for my little brother," the girl answered back. "He's really

🌈☔🌈☔🌈☔🌈      Beautiful poem  Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine, after the rain Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall, But God’s always ready, To answer your call He knows every heartache, sees every tear, A word from His lips, can calm every fear Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night, But suddenly vanish, in dawn’s early light The Savior is waiting, somewhere above, To give you His grace, and send you His love .. Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, “GOD always sends rainbows after the rain.”🙏🙏
