Christian Reflection and Prayer

PANTS


Come with me 
To a third grade classroom..... There is a 
Nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of 
A sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and 
The front of his pants are wet. He thinks his 
Heart is going to stop because he cannot 
Possibly imagine how this has happened. It's 
Never happened before, and he knows that when 
The boys find out he will never hear the end of 
It. When the girls find out, they'll never speak 
To him again as long as he 
Lives.

The boy 
Believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his 
Head down and prays this prayer, 'Dear God, this 
Is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes 
From now I'm dead 
Meat.'

He looks up 
From his prayer and here comes the teacher with 
A look in her eyes that says he has been 
Discovered.

As the 
Teacher is walking toward him, a class mate 
Named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is 
Filled with water. Susie trips in front of the 
Teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water 
In the boy's 
Lap.

The boy 
Pretends to be angry, but all the while is 
Saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you, 
Lord!'

Now all of a 
Sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, 
The boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher 
Rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts 
To put on while his pants dry out. All the other 
Children are on their hands and knees cleaning 
Up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. 
But as life would have it, the ridicule that 
Should have been his has been transferred to 
Someone else - 
Susie.

She tries to 
Help, but they tell her to get out. You've done 
Enough, you 
Klutz!'

Finally, at 
The end of the day, as they are waiting for the 
Bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, 
'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie 
Whispers back, 'I wet my pants once 
Too.'

In 2011
May God help 
Us see the opportunities that are always around 
Us to do 
Good..

Remember.....Just going to 
Church doesn't make you a Christian any more 
Than standing in your garage makes you a 
Car.

Each and 
Everyone one of us is going through tough times 
Right now, but God is getting ready to bless you 
In a way that only He can. This new year keep the 
Faith.

This prayer 
Is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts 
We receive. There is no cost but a lot of 
Rewards. This new year let's continue to pray for one 
Another.

My Prayer for you in 2011

Father, in 2011 I ask 
You to bless my friends, relatives and those 
That I care deeply for, who are reading this 
Right now. Show them a new revelation of Your 
Love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to 
Minister to their spirit at this very moment. 
Where there is pain, give them Your peace and 
Mercy.. Where there is self-doubt, release a 
Renewed confidence through Your grace. Where 
There is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. 
Bless their homes, families, finances, their 
Goings and their comings. 
Amen.


HAPPY NEW YEAR

IN 2011 MAY YOU ALL SEE THE OPPORTUNITIES
THAT ARE ALWAYS AROUND YOU AND DO GOOD!
