i got this in an email, and it's heart warming yet funny:
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 classmate 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..'
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. 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. Let's continue to pray for one
another
The
Prayer:
Father,
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.
so that was the email. and yes, this means i'm christian.
