Don't tell God how big your storm is - tell the storm how big your God is!




 
John 3:16



 A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner,

 the people were in and out of the cold.

 The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell

 many papers.

 He walked up to a policeman and said,

 'Mister,

 you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could

 find a warm place to sleep tonight would you ?

 You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and

 down the alley and it's awful cold in there for tonight.

 Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay.'

 The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, 'You

 go down the street to that big white house and you knock

 on the door. When they come out the door you just say

 John 3:16, and they will let you in.'

 So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the

 door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said,

 'John 3:16.' The lady said, 'Come on in, Son.'

 She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom

 rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, and she went

 off. The boy sat there! for a while and thought to himself:

 John 3:16 ...I don't understand it, but it sure makes

 a cold boy warm.



 Later she came back and asked him 'Are you hungry ? '

 He said, 'Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of

 days, and I guess I could stand a little bit of food,'

 The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table

 full of wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldn't eat

 any more. Then he thought to himself:

 John 3:16 .  Boy, I sure don't understand it but it sure

 makes a hungry boy full.



 She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub

 filled with warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a

 while. As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16...

 I sure don't understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy

 clean. You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my

 whole life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in

 front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out.

 The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room,

 tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers

 up around his neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out

 the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the

 window at the snow coming down on that cold night,

 he thought to himself: John 3:16 ...I don't understand it but

 it sure makes a tired boy rested.



 The next morning the lady came back up and took him

 down again to that same big table full of food. After he

 ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottom

 rocker in front of the fireplace and

 picked up a big old Bible.

 She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face.

 'Do you understand John 3:16 ?' she asked gently. He

 replied, 'No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it

 was last night when the policeman told me to use it,'

 She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain

 to him about Jesus . Right there, in front of that big old fireplace,

 he gave his heart and life to Jesus. He sat there

 and thought: John 3:16 -- don't understand it, but it sure

 makes a lost boy feel safe.



 You know, I have to confess I don't understand it either,

 how God was willing to send His Son to die for me, and how

 Jesus would agree to do such a thing. I don't understand

 the agony of the Father and every angel in heaven as

 they watched Jesus suffer and die. I don't understand the intense

 love for ME that kept Jesus on the cross till the end.

 I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living.



 John 3:16

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only

 begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should

 not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed

 of you before my Father
.'

What's mainly wrong with society today is that too many Dirt Roads have been paved.

There's not a problem in America today, crime, drugs, education, divorce, delinquency that wouldn't be remedied, if we just had more Dirt Roads, because Dirt Roads give character.

People that live at the end of Dirt Roads learn early on that life is a bumpy ride.

That it can jar you right down to your teeth sometimes, but it's worth it, if at the end is home...a loving spouse, happy kids and a dog.

We wouldn't have near the trouble with our educational system if our kids got their exercise walking a Dirt Road with other kids, from whom they learn how to get along.

There was less crime in our streets before they were paved.

Criminals didn't walk two dusty miles to rob or rape, if they knew they'd be welcomed by 5 barking dogs and a double barrel shotgun.

And there were no drive by shootings.

Our values were better when our roads were worse!

People did not worship their cars more than their kids, and motorists were more courteous, they didn't tailgate by riding the bumper or the guy in front would choke you with dust & bust your windshield with rocks.

Dirt Roads taught patience.

Dirt Roads were environmentally friendly, you didn't hop in your car for a quart of milk you walked to the barn for your milk.

For your mail, you walked to the mail box.

What if it rained and the Dirt Road got washed out? That was the best part, then you stayed home and had some family time, roasted marshmallows and popped popcorn and pony rode on Daddy's shoulders and learned how to make prettier quilts than anybody.

At the end of Dirt Roads, you soon learned that bad words tasted like soap.

Most paved roads lead to trouble, Dirt Roads more likely lead to a fishing creek or a swimming hole.

At the end of a Dirt Road, the only time we even locked our car was in August, because if we didn't some neighbor would fill it with too much zucchini.

At the end of a Dirt Road, there was always extra springtime income, from when city dudes would get stuck, you'd have to hitch up a team and pull them out.

Usually you got a dollar...always you got a new friend...at the end of a Dirt Road!

"Life is too short to wake up with regrets so love the people who treat you
right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a
reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes
your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it
would be worth it."

Peace starts with a smile

Most people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.

Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors.

The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there.

People are funny; they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church.

Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.

Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn't belong.

If the church wants a better preacher, it only needs to pray for the one it has.

God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead.  So why should we?

Some minds are like concrete thoroughly mexed up and permanently set.

I don't know why some people change churches; what difference does it make which one you stay home from?

A lot of church members who are singing "Standing on the Promises' are just sitting on the premises.

We are called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.

Be ye fishers of men.  You catch them - He'll clean them.

Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.

Don't put a question mark where God put a period.

Don't wait for 6 strong men to take you to church.

Forbidden fruits create many jams.

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

God grades on the cross, not the curve.

God loves everyone, but probably prefers "fruit of the spirit" over a "religious nut".

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

He who angers you, controls you.

If God is your Co-pilot - Swap seats.

Prayer:  Don't give God instructions - just report for duty.

The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.

We don't change the message, the message changes us.

You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to descourage him

The best mathermatical equation I have ever seen:

1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.


And remember God is everywhere, all you have to do is look.







Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 
1 Peter 5:6-7

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Proverbs 3:5-6

Ever have one of those days, when something seemed a bit 'off'
but you just couldn't put your finger on it...

[] 


Or it seemed like all the people around you just wanted to butt heads...

[] 


Or just get into some kind of weird tug of war?

[] 


Sometimes you just need to take a fresh new look and get a different perspective on things.

[] 


Remember to try your best to show kindness to others...

[] 


(sometimes looking at things from their perspective might help...)

[] 

So, when life gets you down...

[] 


Remember to just keep going, and keep your head above water...

[] 


And you'll get by with a little help from your friends!

[]


To all of my friends - have a nice day.
Together We Can Make Someone Smile !
