[Faith-talk] Good Night Message for Thursday, June 6, 2013

[Paul]

Yes, folks, here in eastern North America it's too late to call it a daily thought, but I hope you will enjoy what I have for you today.  It's a series of humorous snapshots, rendered as follows:

Sunday, after church, a mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about.

The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt."

Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed.  Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about.  He said, "Be not afraid, thy Comforter is coming."



There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country.

"Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk.

"Only the Ten Commandments," answered the lady.



Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world.  There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, ""Good Lord, it's morning."



There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation:  "I have good news and bad news.  The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program.  The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets."



While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage.  The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign, "Energy efficient vehicle:  Runs on oats and grass.  Caution:  Do not step in exhaust."



People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the middle of the road.



When you carry the Bible, Satan gets a headache.  When you open it, he collapses.  When he sees you reading it, he faints.  When he sees that you are living what you read, he flees.



And there you have it for today.  Until tomorrow when, Lord willing another daily thought message will be presented, may the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob just keep us safe, individuallly and collectively, throughout this night or day and especially in these last days in which we live.  Your Christian friend and brother, Paul
