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!

Scripture:

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4: 4-7)

On my way home one day, I stopped to
watch a Little League baseball game that was being played in a
park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-
base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was
'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered
With a smile.

'Really,' I said... 'I have to say you
don't look very discouraged.'

'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a
Puzzled look on his face...

'Why should we be discouraged? We haven't
Been up to bat yet.'

DON'T BE DISCOURAGED, PLEASE GET
UP TO BAT AND BE ONE WITH GOD!

1And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from Caesar
Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

 2(And this taxing was first made when
Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3And all went to be taxed, every one into
his own city.

  4And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea,
unto the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem; (because he was of the house
and lineage of David:)

 5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife,
being great with child.

 6And so it was, that, while they were there,
the days were accomplished that she should
be delivered.

 7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and
wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid
him in a manger; because there was no room
for them in the inn.

 8And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their
flock by night.

 9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.

 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for,
behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.

11For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

 12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall
find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying
in a manger.

 13And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host praising God,
and saying,

 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.

 15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone
away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one
to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and
see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord
hath made known unto us.

 16And they came with haste, and found Mary,
and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

 17And when they had seen it, they made known
abroad the saying which was told them concerning
this child.

 18And all they that heard it wondered at those things
which were told them by the shepherds.

 19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them
in her heart.

 20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising
God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as
it was told unto them.
Luke 2: 1-20 (King James Version)

THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

GOD BLESS YOU AND HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS
