A Pray Answered

GOD Is Busy If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!! A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist, and a member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, GOD if you are real then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 min.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am GOD, I'm still waiting.' It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What in the
world is the matter with you? 'Why did you do that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'GOD was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me.' The classroom erupted in cheers! THIS IS GOOD; KEEP IT GOING. AMEN!!

Answer To A Prayer

She approached the owner of the store in a most
humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.

She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable
to work, they had seven children and they needed food.

John
Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his
store at once.

Visualizing the family needs, she said:
'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as
soon as I
can.'

John told her he could not give her credit, since she did
not have a charge account at his store.

Standing beside the
counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two.
The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand
good for whatever she needed for her family.
The grocer said in a
very reluctant voice, 'Do you have a grocery list?'

Louise
replied, 'Yes sir.' 'O.K' he said, 'put your grocery list on the
scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that
amount in groceries.'

Louise, hesitated a moment with a bowed
head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper
and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the
scale carefully with her head still bowed.

The eyes of the
grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and
stayed down.

The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly
to the customer and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it.'


The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the
groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance
so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the
scales would hold no more.

The grocer stood there in utter
disgust. Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and
looked at it with greater amazement.

It was not a grocery list,
it was a prayer, which said:

'Dear Lord,
you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands.'


The grocer gave her the groceries
that he had gathered and stood in stunned silence.

Louise
thanked him and left the store.
The other customer handed a
fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said;

'It was worth every
penny of it. Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs.'

THE
POWER OF PRAYER: When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all
you have to do.

Just stop right now, and say a prayer of
thanks for your own good fortune.
Then please send this to all your
friends and relatives.

I believe if you will send this
testimony out with prayer in faith, you will receive what you need God
to do in your and your families' life .

So dear heart, trust God to heal the sick, provide
food for the hungry, clothes and shelter for those that don't have as
we do. Amen & Amen

Prayer is one
of the best free gifts we receive.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards.
May you
always walk with Angels;
God Bless!

God Bless America

After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that maybe, the ACLU and the out-of-control federal courts are wrong!
(Please note that at no time is anyone told that they MUST worship God.)
A prayer without Jesus' name is like a letter without a stamp - it ain't going nowhere.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Spring

Spring is here in Indiana and as I took clothes off the cloths line I just took time to listen to the birds and frogs. Then I took a breath of the spring air and just praised the Lord for just that moment in time, for the fresh smell of clothes blowing in the wind, and the beautiful sunshine. Hubby is enjoying the longer days to get ready for the planting season and a time of the birth of baby pigs and loading corn on wagons to take to town to sell. I pray that you are enjoying the grass greening up and growing knowing the time of mowing is just around the corner.

Five Finger Prayer

I thought it was worth passing on. (Author Unknown).

1. Your Thunb is nearest you. So begin your prayer by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as c.c. Lewis said, a "sweet duty".

2. The next finger is the point finter, Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors and ministries. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger: as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak in trouble or in pain. They need our prayers day and night. You cannot pray to much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little finger, the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you". Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray fpr yourself more effective.
God Bless
