God is at the window

*The Duck and the Devil*

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.

He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.

He Practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target.

Getting A little discouraged, he headed back for dinner. As he was Walking
back he saw Grandma’s pet duck.

Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck Square in the
head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved.

In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see His sister
watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.

After lunch the next day Grandma said, “Sally, let’s wash the Dishes.” But
Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in The kitchen.” Then
she whispered to him, “Remember the duck?” So Johnny did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go Fishing and
Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help make Supper.”

Sally just smiled and said,” Well that’s all right because Johnny told Me he
wanted to help.” She whispered again, “Remember the duck?” So Sally Went
fishing and Johnny stayed to help.

After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally’s, He finally
couldn’t stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had
killed the duck.

Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, “Sweetheart, I know. You see,
I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love
you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long You would let Sally make a
slave of you.”

Thought for the day and every day thereafter?

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done… And the devil Keeps
throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad Habits,
hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.) ….whatever it is….You need to know that
God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing….. He has seen
your whole life.

He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven.

He’s just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave Of you.

The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness, He Not only
forgives you, but He forgets . It is by God’s grace and Mercy that we are
saved.

Go ahead and make the difference in someone’s life today. Share This with a
friend and always remember

God is at the window

 

Little Bobby…

Little Bobby came into the kitchen where his mother was making dinner.

His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time to tell his mother what he wanted.

Mom, I want a bike for my birthday.

Little Bobby was a bit of a troublemaker.

He had gotten into trouble at school and at home.
Bobby’s mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for his birthday.

Little Bobby, of course, thought he did.

Bobby’s mother wanted Bobby to reflect on his behavior over the last year.

Go to your room, Bobby, and think about how you have behaved this year.

Then write a letter to God and tell him why you deserve a bike for your birthday.

Little Bobby stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write God a letter.
**************
Letter 1
Dear God,

I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for my birthday.

I want a red one.

Your friend,

Bobby
**************
Bobby knew that this wasn’t true. He had not been a very good boy this year,

So he tore up the letter and started over.
**************
Letter 2

Dear God,

This is your friend Bobby. I have been a good boy this year and I would like

A red bike for my birthday. Thank you.

Your friend,

Bobby
**************
Bobby knew that this wasn’t true either. So, he tore up the letter and started again.
**************
Letter 3
Dear God,

I have been an OK boy this year. I still would really like a bike for my birthday.

Bobby
**************
Bobby knew he could not send this letter to God either. So, Bobby wrote a fourth letter.
**************
Letter 4
God,

I know I haven’t been a good boy this year. I am very sorry.

I will be a good boy if you just send me a bike for my birthday.

Please! Thank you,

Bobby
**************
Bobby knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him a bike.

Now, Bobby was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mom that he wanted to go to church.

Bobby’s mother thought her plan had worked, as Bobby looked very sad.

Just be home in time for dinner, Bobby’s mother told him.
Bobby walked down the street to the church on the corner.

Little Bobby went into the church and up to the altar.

He looked around to see if anyone was there.

Bobby bent down and picked up a statue of the Mary.
He slipped the statue under his shirt and ran out of the church, down the street, into the house, and up to his room.
He shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen.
Bobby began to write his letter to God.
**************
Letter 5
God,

I’VE KIDNAPPED YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE!!!!!!

The Exam…

Sardar Gurbachan Singh is appearing for his University final examination which consists of Y/N type questions.

He takes his seat in the examination hall, stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration takes his wallet out, removes a coin and starts tossing the coin and marking the answer sheet - Y for Heads and N for Tails. Within half an hour he is all done whereas the rest of the class is sweating it out.

During the last few minutes, he is seen desperately throwing the coin, swearing and sweating.

The invigilator, alarmed, approaches him and asks what is going on.

“Oye, I finished the exam in half and hour “. “But yaar “, he says, “I am rechecking my answers and am not able to tally them with what I wrote.”

Love & Madness…

A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it for the first time, and vices floated around and were bored, not knowing what to do. One day, all the vices and virtues were gathered together and were more bored than ever. Suddenly, Ingenious came up with an idea: “Let’s play hide and seek!” All of them liked the idea and immediately Madness shouted: “I want to count, I want to count!” And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek Madness, all the others agreed. Madness leaned against a tree and started to count: “One, two, three…” As Madness counted, the vices and virtues went hiding.

Tenderness hung itself on the horn of the moon…
Treason hid in a pile of garbage…
Fondness curled up between the clouds…and
Passion went to the centre of the earth….
Lie said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the lake… whilst
Avarice entered a sack that he ended up breaking.
And Madness continued to count: …. “seventy nine, eighty, eighty one…”

By this time, all the vices and virtues were already hidden - except Love. For undecided as Love is, he could not decide where to hide. And this should not surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to hide Love.

Madness: “…ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven…” Just when Madness got to one hundred………Love jumped into a rose bush where he hid. And Madness turned around and shouted: “I’m coming, I’m coming!”

As Madness turned around, Laziness was the first to be found, because Laziness had no energy to hide. Then he spotted Tenderness in the horn of the moon, Lie at the bottom of the lake and Passion at the centre of the earth. One by one, Madness found them all - except Love. Madness was getting desperate, unable to find Love. Envious of Love, Envy whispered to Madness: “You only need to find Love and Love is hiding in the rose bush.” Madness grabbed a wooden pitch fork and stabbed wildly at the rosebush. Madness stabbed and stabbed until a heartbreaking cry made him stop. Love appeared from the rose bush, covering his face with his hands. Between his fingers ran two trickles of blood from his eyes. Madness, so anxious to find Love, had stabbed out Love’s eyes with a pitch fork. “What have I done! What have I done!” Madness shouted. “I have left you blind! How can I repair it?”

And Love answered: “You cannot repair my eyes. But if you want to do something for me, you can be my guide.”

And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.
