Christian Reflection and Prayer

Christmas is supposed to be about giving!

The Story:

This is about the difference between heaven
and hell.
Seems these two fellows get together one day.  One
is from heaven and the other from hell.  The man
from heaven asks what is hell really like  
"It's terrible, says the man from hell.  We get really
hungry feeding the furnaces , and  every night they sit
us down at these big beautiful banquet tables piled
high with food.  And the devil comes out and says,
"all you can eat, seconds even thirds.  There's
just one rule, you got to be polite down here and use
your forks."  "Their we are already to eat this food,
and we reach down and pick up our forks, and every
one of those forks got handles 3 feet long, there
is no way in the world we can get that food into our
mouths."  "And that old devil just stands there and
laughs at us every night over and over again, laughing
and laughing."  " I tell you it is torture something
awful."  "Well, says the other man, we got big tables
of food like that in heaven too, and our forks have the
same long handles, no way we can feed ourselves
either."  "SO WE JUST SIT DOWN AND FEED EACH OTHER!"

Reflection:
What and idea, what and amazing thing to do.  Makes the
whole difference between feast and famine, happiness and
torture.  How come nobody down in hell thought of that, not
one soul.  Why, because that's not the way they think, that's why
they are down there in the first place.  It wouldn't occur to
them to do anything for anybody else.  That's the real curse,
that's the real pain of living in hell.  You see it is the curse
they laid upon themselves when they walked the earth.

THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON HOW WILL YOU WALK THE EARTH,
LIKE ONE FROM HEAVEN, OR ONE FROM HELL.  IT'S YOUR
CHOICE.
