story time...

rain drops fell along the sidewalk of cherry street by which a young lad sat watching cars go by and enjoying the ice cream he paid for with the dime that rolled down that street. as the drops fell, the lad looked up to the heavens and tears flowed down his face. mummy was gone that day.

a few blocks away at the local cemetary, a man clad in black watched as the ordained minister pronounced his last rites before the casket was sealed. sadness encompassed the whole town.

nothing really brings a smile to our faces when deaths of friends or family members come our way. by this death i do not mean mere physical ones but those that involve us totally regretting to not be able to say our last sorries because our pride meant more. can't we just be frank and say that all that happen really was because we lacked faith within ourself. why must everythin be rationalized!

the lad looked up and instead of blaming God for his mother's death, he proclaimed, "Thank you God for showing your sympathy by pouring this showers down on me to really remember that you will always be there for me as you had to my mother who rest by your side."

Live your life in hope that we can sail through nicely, well all i can say is that you are a slob if you do think that way. Life isn't about you. Life is about showing those around us what
God has done so that they might eventually be convicted and love the Lord in the same way we do.
