…………………….THOUGHT FOR THE DAY…………………….
FOR THEN IT SHALL BE SAID; OUR MOUTHS WERE
FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, AND OUR TONGUES WITH
SONGS OF JOY. THEN IT WAS SAID AMONG THE
NATIONS, “THE LORD HAS DONE GREAT THINGS
FOR THEM.”
( PSALM 126:2 )
The following message was sent to me from a
Christian friend. I hope it will start your week
with a smile and a laugh or two. So let us enjoy:
“Some Christian Humor …”
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family
Bible to her brother in another part of the country. “Is there
anything breakable in here?” asked the postal clerk. “Only the
Ten Commandments.” Answered the lady.

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city
because he was short of time and couldn’t find a space with a
meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read:
“I have circled the block 10 times. If I don’t park here, I’ll miss
my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.”
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along
with this note “I’ve circled this block for 10 years. If I don’t give
you a ticket I’ll lose my job. “Lead us not into temptation.”
There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and
announced to his congregation: “I have good news and bad
news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our
new building program. The bad news is, it’s still out there in
your pockets.”

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish
carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of
humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a
hand printed sign… “Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and
grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust.”
========
A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question,
“Boys and Girls, what do we know about God?” A hand shot
up in the air. “He is an artist!” said the kindergarten boy.
“Really? How do you know?” The teacher asked. “You know –
Our Father, who does art in Heaven… ”

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just
before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly,
but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant
motioned him toward a vacant pump. “Reverend,” said the
young man, “I’m so sorry about the delay. It seems as if
everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.”
The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean. It’s the same
in my business.”
========
A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly,
“I know what the Bible means!” His father smiled and replied,
“What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means?” The son
replied, “I do know!” “Okay,” said his father. “What does the
Bible mean?” “That’s easy, Daddy.” The young boy replied
excitedly, “It stands for ‘Basic Information Before Leaving
Earth.'”
========
Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter
what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, “Don’t be
scared, you’ll get your quilt.”
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the
Pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that
morning’s Sunday school lesson was about. He said “Be not
afraid, thy comforter is coming.”
========
Give me a sense of humor, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humor out of life,
And pass it on to other folk! Amen.
With our love and prayers.

Because of some serious health and mobility problems since October 2016, I have not been able to travel and raise financial support for this ministry as I have in the past. We thank GOD that we do have a few long time supporters who have stood with us, but we have now reached a point where we really need some additional financial help!
Will you please consider being our supporter.
When you support our THOUGHT FOR THE DAY, like the one above, you are helping win souls, strengthen God’s, people, and providing charity in times of need through our 501c3 tax exempt corp.
Please make this a serious prayer matter.
Thank you and have a wonderful day feeling blessed
and may God’s Grace be with you!
