First Time Prayer

 

A man came to church for the very first time in his life. He heard a sermon that really tugged at his heart strings and felt the need to answer the invitation to become a Christian. When he shared his story about never having attended church the preacher thought surely the new convert was someone special. The preacher urged the man to come back that night to take part in the evening service.

 

When the man arrived the preacher told the man he needed him to perform a special task. The pastor wanted him to say the benediction at the end of the service.

The new convert protested and said, "Pastor, I've never been to church in my life. How am I supposed to know how to pray in public in only the second church service I've ever attended?"

 

The preacher said, "That's OK. I have a plan. I've written you a prayer you can read. Just sit back here on the back row next to the coat rack. Place this prayer I've written in your hat. As the service is closing out, just reach back here behind you, pick up your hat and read the prayer."

The new Christian reluctantly agreed to the plan. At the end of the service the preached called the man by name and asked him to offer the closing prayer.

 

On cue, the man reached to the hat rack behind him, and picked up a hat. As planned he started the prayer. In a loud voice he said, "DEAR GOD .................... this is NOT my hat...."

THOUGHT PROVOKING – INSPIRATIONAL

 

 

I've learned.... That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.

I've learned.... That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

 

I've learned.... That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

 

I've learned.... That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, you're hooked for life.

 

I've learned.... That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

 

I've learned.... That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

"A son and his father were walking on the mountains.

 

Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

 

To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

 

Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"

 

He receives the answer: "Who are you?"

 

And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"

 

The voice answers: "I admire you!"

 

Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"

 

He receives the answer: "Coward!"

 

He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"

 

The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."

 

Now the father shouts: "You are a champion!"

 

The voice answers: "You are a champion!"

 

The boy is surprised, but does not understand.

 

Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; life will give you back everything you have given to it."

YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!"
