30 November 2006 ! at 7:30 PM ! A group of 10-year-olds in a school in the US were asked to list what they thought were the current seven wonders of the world. Although there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes: 1. Egypt's Great Pyramids 2. The Taj Mahal 3. The Great Canyon 3. The Panama Canal 4. The Empire State Building 5. St Peter's Basilica 6. China's Great Wall While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble deciding. The girl replied: "Yes, a little. I couldn't make up my mind because there are so many." The teacher said: " Well, tell us what you have and maybe we can help." The girl hesitated, then read: " I think the seven wonders of the world are to see, to hear, to touch, to taste, to feel, to laugh and to love." The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The simple and ordinary things we overlook are truly wondrous, and the most precious things in life are not man-made. Sigh. What a lovely story! It's so often that we can forget the simplest yet most precious and wonderful gifts God has given to us! So often it's only after we lose the gifts will we then learn how to appreciate and regret not teasuring them more often. It's such a wonderous thing to be able to see, hear, touch, taste, feel, laugh and love. And I'm amazed by the little girl's innocence to not overlook such precious simple things in the world. For without any of them, we won't be able to really appreciate certain things in life, love and the ability to laugh especially. These two wonders bring us joy and make us happy no matter what time of the day once we have these wonders. Thank God so much for them, the wonderful wonders He has given to all of us! (: The Pastor and his son Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts. This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, "OK, Dad, I'm ready." His Pastor Dad asked, "Ready for what?" "Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out." Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain." The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?" Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather." Despondently, the boy asks, "Dad, can I go? Please?" His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son." "Thanks Dad!" And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract. After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted. Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered. He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer. Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch. He rang again and this time the door slowly opened. Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, "What can I do for you, son?" With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE." With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave. She called to him as he departed. "Thank you, son! And God bless you!" Well, the following Sunday morning in church, Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, "Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?" Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face. "No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live. So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, "I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away." I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly. I thought to myself again, "Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me." I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder. When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, "Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU." Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand. As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more. You see -- I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell." There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated. He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for his son..except for One. This Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world. He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted praises and honor to the King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is named.Blessed are your eyes for reading this message. Don't ever let this message die, read it again and pass it to others. Heaven is for His people! Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the life of someone close to you. oh my gosh i love this story! read it twice and i still cried! :/ ALRIGHTY, you all wont be able to see me for almost 8 days straight because I've got guides camp from 1 to 4 dec, church camp from 5 to 8 dec! SO 8 days straight of camp, do pray for me for strength plus I'm sick now! D: But thank God I can still go for camps! (: <3, CASS. 06 November 2006 ! at 12:29 AM ! I really thank God for showing me His wonders and works in my life, and teaching me precious lessons such as how precious life is and how we are so often wasting our life away, the minutes and seconds ticking by without us knowing! Just last night, saturday night, my dad was driving me and my mum and my two home in his taxi late at night, about two in the morning i think. Me and my sisters were sleeping in the back seats without seat belts and when suddenly I was thrown forward and I awoke with a start. After that I realised that we nearly nearly nearly got into an accident! It turns out that there was this van which was driving in the wrong direction in the wrong lane at VERY FAST speed. I think the driver was either drunk or on drugs or something but he was speeding somemore okay. Anyway we almost got into a head to head crash with the van! Thank God so much that my dad was able to drive and swerved in time to avoid crashing head on with the van! And when I look back I could see the van driving in a wobbly way, zig zaging on the road. Woah, really must thank God so much for keeping me and my family save! It sure was some experience! Well this simple incident taught me the value of time. If my dad had managed to swerve only a second later, I doubt I'll be here typing away this experience I had. Just one second later and the precious life God gave to me could be taken back by Him once again. And imagine if I were to stand on the platform before God and let Him judge me, I wonder if there would be anything that I have done or said please Him. Okay, maybe there would be a couple, but was it enough? Would He be proud of me and look at me and say to me, 'My child, I'm proud of you and your actions and your words and thoughts. They are pleasing to Me.' I doubt that. God gave each and everyone of us the same amount of time, but have we been using them fruitfully? Have we been using this precious gift of time to glorify Him or have we been letting these time slip by us without even us realising it, like us spending time playing computer games we know are not beneficial to us at all etc. I thought about what I've been doing with the time He has given to me and I realise that the amount of time we spend praying, doing quiet time each day, glorifying Him etc compared to time we spend on talking about rubbishy stuff and doing meaningless stuff is very little. It's not even equal, much less more. Well, after that incident, I really realised how much time I've wasted away and how insignificant the time I spend on things which glorify Him is compared to the time I spend on watching tv or playing computer games. In fact, come to think of it, I've always only spend about half an hour each day doing quiet time. And the other 23.5 hours? It's not really spent on things worth spending time on always. How have you been spending your time? Well, just thank God for this chance for me to share with you this experience and lesson God has certainly taught me! Take care and have a fruiful week ahead! <3, CASS. |
