Blessings in Disguise “My green slacks are hanging on the bottom rack on the right side of the closet. I want the forest green ones; not the brownish-green or light… Blessings in Disguise “My green slacks are hanging on the bottom rack on the right side of the closet. I want the forest green ones; not the brownish-green or light green. And, the flowered silk blouse that goes with them is on the top rack hanging towards the middle. You’ll know which one it is when you see it. Just pick out whatever flat shoes you think will look best.” Mom was smiling as she planned her wardrobe for Thanksgiving Day. I was nearly out the door when she stopped me. “One more thing, you know those gold drop earrings you gave me years ago? I’ll need those, too. And, if you don’t mind could you come early enough to make sure my makeup and hair look nice?” I walked back to give her a hug, kiss, and told her not to give it another thought, “You’ll look just beautiful!

The Lord’s team was at bat, the score was tied zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. They continued to watch as a batter stepped up to the plate named ‘Love.’ Love swung at the first pitch and hit a single, because ‘Love never fails.’ The next batter was named Faith, who also got a single because Faith works with Love. The next batter up was named Godly Wisdom. Satan wound up and threw the first pitch. Godly Wisdom looked it over and let it pass: Ball one. Three more pitches and Godly Wisdom walked because he never swings at what Satan throws. The bases were now loaded. The Lord then turned to Freddy and told him He was now going to bring in His star player. Up to the plate stepped Grace. Freddy said, ‘He sure doesn’t look like much!’ Satan’s whole team relaxed when they saw Grace. Thinking he had won the game, Satan wound up and fired his first pitch. To

May you find serenity and tranquillity in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength… May you find serenity and tranquillity in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with optimism and courage. May you always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. May you remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. May you teach love to those who know hate, and let that love embrace you as you go into the world. May the teaching of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. May you not become too concerned

Imagine praying and hearing this: “Thank you for calling My Father’s House. Please select one of the following four options: * Press 1 for requests. * Press 2 for thanksgiving. * Press 3 for complaints. * For all other inquiries, Press 4.” What if God used the familiar excuse: “All of the angels are helping other customers right now. Please stay on the line. Your call will be answered in the order it was received.” Can you imagine getting these kinds of responses as you call on God in prayer? * “If you’d like to speak with Gabriel, press 1. * For Michael, press 2. * For any other angel, press 3.” * “If you want King David to sing you a psalm, press 6.” “For reservations at My Father’s House, simply press the letters J-O-H-N on the keypad, followed by the number 3-1-6.” “For answers to nagging questions about dinosaurs, the age of the earth and where Noah’s ark is, wait until you get here!” “Our computers show that you have called once today already. Please hang up immediately.” “This office is closed for the weekend. Please call again
