TELL JESUS I LOVE HIM
A grandmother recently went to dinner at a restaurant with her son and two
grandchildren. They were sitting at the table waiting for their food when
the five-year-old asked "Grandma, what was your Mummy like? "She
was a very wonderful lady, Clare" said Grandmother. "Your Daddy
knew her, too." The five-year-old looked at her Dad and said, "Did
you, Dad?" Dad responded "Yes I did, Clare. She was very nice."
"What was your Dad like, Grandma?" said Clare. Grandmother responded
"He was nice, too, but I didn't know him very well because he died when
I was only ten years old." Clare's Dad chimed in "Isn't it great
that Grandma's Mum did such a good job taking care of Grandma even though
her Dad wasn't with them?" Clare didn't say anymore right then. The next
day, Sunday, Clare was just talking with her Dad. She said "Dad, will
people be able to see each other in heaven?" Her Dad said "Sure
they will, Clare". Then she asked "Dad, I guess, since you're older
than me, you'll die first." Her Dad responded "Yes, I guess I will,
Clare." She said "I'll sure miss you, Dad." By this time, Dad
is having trouble keeping the tears from his eyes. After a moment of silence,
Clare said "Dad, will you please tell Jesus I love Him when you get there?"
Dad responded with tears flowing down his face "Sure, Clare, I'll be
glad to tell Him." A wonderful story of a child's search for the deeper
meaning and mystery of death.
CHRISTIAN ONE-LINERS
Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.
Don't wait for six strong men to take you to Church.
Forbidden fruits create many jams.
God doesn't call the qualified - he qualifies the called.
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
He who angers you, controls you!
If God is your co-pilot - swap seats!
Prayer - don't give God instructions, just report for duty!
The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.
We don't change the message, the message changes us.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage
him.
The best mathematical equation I have ever seen - 1 cross + 3
nails = 4 given.
Don't keep the faith - spread it around!
