Judge Me By The Footprints I Leave Behind

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Viet Nam. He called his parents from San Francisco. ”Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me.”

“Sure”, they replied, “we'd love to meet him”.

“There's something you should know”, the son continued ... “he was hurt pretty badly in the

fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost aft arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and

I want him to come live with us.”

“I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can,........

My dear Family,

I am writing a special letter just to you.

I want to tell you not to cry, I've made it safely through. Please know that I am happy sitting here by Jesus' knee where all the hosts of heaven sing and worship God with me.It's so beautiful in heaven and so peaceful here I know that even if I could come back, I wouldn't want to go. The street is paved with purest gold, the trees forever green; the river flowing from God's throne is crystal clear and clean. I have a mansion all my own; I'm filled with joy and praise. I listen to sweet music and my voice in anthems raise..........

Lord, thank you for this sink of dirty dishes; we have plenty of food to eat. Thank you for this pile of dirty, stinky laundry; we have plenty of nice clothes to wear. And I would like to thank you, Lord, for those unmade beds; they were so warm and comfortable last night. I know that many have no bed. My thanks to you, Lord, for this bathroom, complete with all the

splattered mess, soggy, grimy towels and dirty lavatory; they are so convenient. Thank you for this finger-smudged refrigerator that needs defrosting so badly; it has served us faithfully for many years. It is full of cold drinks and........

Thanksgiving Blessings

Do you have anything to be thankful for? In his classic novel ROBINSON CRUSOE, author Daniel Defoe has shipwrecked Crusoe take

inventory of his life. He makes two lists. One is a list of his problems. The other is an inventory of that for which he can give thanks. A problem he writes is that he has no clothing. On his corresponding list he writes that the weather is warm and he really has little need for clothing. Another problem is that all of his provisions were lost at sea. But on the other list he writes that he has fresh fruit and water and can provide for himself. And so it...........

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings,

thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf. thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf. Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind. Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind. Even though I huddle in my bed and put off...........

Thank You, Thank You Lord

Six humans trapped by happenstance In bleak and bitter cold. Each one possessed a stick of wood Or so the story is told. Their dying fire in need of logs,The first man held his back. For of the faces 'round the fire He noticed one was black.The second, looking across the way. Saw one not of his church. And could not bring himself to give. The fire his stick of birch.The third man sat in tattered clothes.He gave his coat a hitch.

Why should his log be put to use to warm the idle rich?The black man's face spoke revenge As the fire passed from his sight.For all he saw in his stick of wood,Was a chance to spite the ..........

Why I'm Quitting

"God, there's just not enough room for the both of us to be in charge of my life. It's not that I haven't taken the job seriously, mind you! I have fretted, laid awake nights, and worked out the most detailed and wonderful schemes. The problem is

not with the planning and scheming. It's with the "control" thing. Or perhaps I should have said the lack-of-control thing. Oh, I know. You have repeatedly told me that You are competent to be in charge and that putting You in charge would relieve me of worry. But I seem to enjoy it. The fact I'm worried about tomorrow seems to tell .........

Three years ago, a friend said something to me that hurt very deeply. I was speechless. I could not believe she could say that and mean it. When I had no response, she said, "I love you and don't want to see you hurt." My thought was, 'if you love me, how could you say such a terrible thing about someone I love dearly'. But I was still speechless and just couldn't respond. Days and weeks passed and it still bothered me. I prayed about it a lot and I thought I had forgiven her, but I couldn't forget. Weeks and months went by. I didn't dwell on this, but occasionally after my prayers at bedtime, I would think about it and couldn't seem to clear......
