--Communication~~

-A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl listened intently to the children's sermon. The minister explained that God wants everyone to get along, and love each other.

"God wants us all to be one," he said.

To which little Cathy said, "But I don't want to be one, I want to be four!" frown

~~Competition~

-THE five-year-old ringbearer was obviously worried as he looked down the long aisle of the church where his aunt was to be married the following day. His grandmother had an idea. "I think I'll give a prize to the person who does the best job tomorrow," she told him.

The ringbearer's chin went up. There were fourteen others in the wedding party, not counting the Minister. "I still think I can do it," he whispered.

The next day, the church filled, and the organ sounded triumphantly. When it was time, the little boy walked to the front with his head held high.

At the reception, when his grandmother told him he had won the prize, he was both excited and relieved.

"I was pretty sure I had it," he admitted, "until Aunt Dana came in wearing that white dress and the horn was blowing. Then I started thinking--she might win!" eek

~~Contentment~

~AFTER listening to Chuck Swindoll on the radio, eight-year old Debbie asked six-year-old David, "Do you know about Jesus?"

Expecting a new slant on the old story. David replied, "No."

Sister continued, "Sit still because this is really scary." confused After explaining the gospel as only an eight-year-old could, she popped the question.

"Now, David, when you die, do you want to go to heaven to be with Jesus, God, your Mommy and Daddy, and big sister, or do you want to go to the lake of fire to be with the devil and the bank robbers?"

David thought a moment, then replied, "I want to stay right here." blush

~~Missions/ Music~

THE song leader asked the congregation to turn in their hymnals and sing, "Till the Whole World Knows." My daughter whispered, "I think we're going to be here a long time."

~Honesty/ Integrity~

A man who was trying to be more diligent about witnessing saw an opportunity when he was standing in the "10 Items or Less" checkout at the grocery store.

"All have sinned," he began, sincerely looking at the clerk scanning his items.

"Including you, Mac," she replied, without looking up. " wink I count fourteen items here." ~~

~~HAVE A GREAT DAY!~~ " "A joyful heart is good like medicine." [Proverbs 17:22]

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
