Just Suppose

Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do.And just in case GOD calls me home ........ I LOVE YA!!

Rain

There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby so he went before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's salary. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church.Finally, the preacher got up and spoke to the crowd, "Children are a gift from God", he said. Silence fell on the congregation. In the back pew, a little old lady stood and in her frail voice said, "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers."And the congregation said, "AMEN"!!!

Message of Love

The story is so moving that it left me choice...I received this from a friend who had achoice to make. It said that I had achoice to make too.I've chosen. Now it's your turn tochoose.The story goes that some time ago amother punished her five year olddaughter for wasting a roll ofexpensivegold wrapping paper. Money was tightandshe became even more upset when thechild used the gold paper to decorate abox to put under the Christmas tree.Nevertheless, the little girl broughtthe gift box to her mother the nextmorning and then said,"This is for you, Momma."The mother was embarrassed by herearlier over reaction, but her angerflared again when she openedthe box and found it was empty. Shespoke to her daughter in a harshmanner."Don' t you know, young lady, when yougive someone a present there's supposedto be somethinginside the package?"She had tears in her eyes andsaid, "Oh,Momma, it's not empty! I blew kissesinto it until it was full."The mother was crushed. She fell on herknees and put her arms around herlittlegir l, and she begged her forgivenessforher thoughtless anger.An accident took the life of the childonly a short time later, and it is toldthat the mother kept that gold box byher bed for all the years of her life.Whenever she was discouraged orfaced difficult problems she would openthe box and take out an imaginary kissand remember the love of the child whohad put it there.In a very real sense, each of us, ashuman beings, have been given a Goldenbox filled with unconditional love andkisses from our children, family,friends and GOD. There is no moreprecious possession anyone could hold.
