One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand

The enemy loves to plant seeds of doubt and lure us into thinking that we are not capable of making a difference in this world, but with God’s help, we can overcome and fulfil the destiny that God has for every believer. If you are going through a situation of doubting your task unto the Lord, then I hope this story will bless and encourage you to never quit what God has laid on your heart because you may never know how many lives you are touching. I read of a man who was involved in a tragic accident. He lost both legs and his left arm and only a finger and thumb remained on the right hand. But he still possessed a brilliant mind, enriched with a good education and broadened with world travel. At first, he thought there was nothing he could do but remain a helpless

When you’re 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something REALLY big. 3. Don’t listen to critics — do what has to be done. 4. Build on high ground. 5. For safety’s sake, travel in pairs. Two heads are better than one. 6. Speed isn’t always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board, but so were the snails. 7. If you can’t fight or flee — float! 8. Take care of your animals as if they were the last ones on earth. 9. Don’t forget that we’re all in the same boat. 10. When the doo-doo gets really deep, don’t sit there and complain — shovel! 11. Stay below deck during the storm. 12. Remember that the ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic was built by professionals. 13. If you have to start over, have a friend by your side. 14.

And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite! When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Honey, I love burned biscuits.” Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your Momma put in a hard day

After living a “decent” life my time on earth came to an end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a courthouse. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defence table. As I looked around I saw the “prosecutor,” he was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me, he definitely was the evilest person I have ever seen. I sat down and looked to my left and there sat my lawyer, a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed very familiar to me. The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes. He commanded an awesome presence as he moved across the room and I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. As he took his seat behind the bench he said “Let us begin.” The prosecutor rose and said, “My name is Satan and I am here to show
