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 helives.
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 deadmeat.'
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 ofwater 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 theobject 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, youklutz!'
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 pantsonce
too.'
May our
Lord God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good for
others!
Remember.....
Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian that believes,
any more than standing in your garage makes you acar.
Each and everyone one of us is going through tough times right
now, but God, through His Son, Jesus, can bless you in a way you have never
thought of before.Therefore you need to
keep true faith and belief in God and His Son, Jesus.
This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best ways we
can communicate with God and His Son today.There is no cost to it, but a lot of rewards. Therefore, let's continue
to pray to God and pray for one another:
The Prayer:
Dear Father God, I ask You
to bless my friends, relatives, and those thatI care
deeply for. I also ask you to bless
anyone who loves You and Your Son, Jesus, and is reading this right now.
Show
them a new revelation of Your love, mercy, and power.
Oh, 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, their families, and their goings and their comings. Amen!!
