My Little Bit of Heaven
  
Most of you are going through the same or similar trials and tribulations as I am though your stories may be a little different we are all still in the same boat. My prayer is that my little bit of heaven will make your little bit of heaven just a little bit better. May the Lord richly bless you all, cheers.

A Successful Marriage Aug 10, 2008 11:02 pm
129 Views
Once upon a time a married couple celebrated their 25th marriage anniversary. They had become famous in the city for not having a single conflict in their 25 years of marriage. Local newspaper editors had gathered at the occasion to find out the secret of their well known 'blissful marriage'.
Editor: 'Sir. It's amazingly unbelievable. How did you make this possible?' Husband recalling his old honeymoon days said: 'We had been to Shimla for our honeymoon. Having decided to go horse riding, we both started the ride
on different horses. My horse was pretty okay but the horse on which my wife was riding seemed to be a little wild. On the way ahead, that horse jumped suddenly, making my wife topple over. Recovering her position from the ground, she patted the horse's back and said 'This is your first time'. Again she climbed on the horse and continued with the ride. After a while, it happened again. This time again she calmly said, 'This is your second time' and continued. When the horse dropped her the third time, she silently took out the revolver from the purse and shot the horse dead!
I shouted at my wife: 'What did you do you psycho. You killed the poor animal. Are you crazy?' She gave a silent look and said: 'This is your first time!'

Husband: 'That's it. We have lived happily together since then. '

Biker Dude At The Grocery Store Aug 10, 2008 7:03 pm

The other day, I was shopping with my son. We had been in the store quite a while, so his patience was already wearing thin when I mentioned that I had forgotten to get soup.
As I turned the cart around and headed down the soup aisle, we saw the biggest, baldest, most bewildered looking biker dude, staring at the cans. I thought he might be threatening them to jump into his basket!
Like most children he is still learning to not shout out his observations about people in public. As we approached the man,
He yelled, "He rides a motorcycle, I bet! Do you think he looks mean?"
I was mortified, but the biker smiled and won him over with a high five. The biker sheepishly asked if I could help him out. There was a single mom with small children, who lived next door to him, and she had just lost her job. He was looking to buy groceries for her family
and, since he had no children, he had no clue what little kids liked. He didn't want her to know where the groceries were coming from, so he
hadn't asked her any questions.
I have to admit, walking around the grocery store for half an hour with a big, bad, biker dude taking, orders from a seven-year-old about what to buy was a blast. The best part happened when we went out to the parking lot. Once again, in a typically innocent way, He yelled out his observation to the biker: "You really rock!"
I could see the biker blush from three cars away!

We aren’t what we ought to be. We aren’t what we’re going to be. We aren’t what we want to be. But, thank God, we aren’t what we were.

Lessons from a Butterfly: Aug 10, 2008 10:10 am
141 Views
A man found a cocoon of an emperor moth. He took it home so that he could watch the moth come out of the cocoon. On the day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to force it body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck.
The man, in his kindness, decided to help the moth, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The moth then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the moth to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the moth into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Freedom and flight would only come after the struggle. By depriving the moth of a struggle, he deprived the moth of health.
Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles. He would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.
How true this is! How many times have we wanted to take the quick way out of struggles and difficulties, to take those scissors and snip off the remaining bits in an attempt to be free. We need to remember that our loving Father will never give us more that we can bear and through our trials and struggles we are strengthened as gold is refined in the fire.
"May we never let the things we can't have, or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have." Don't focus on the things you DON'T have, enjoy each moment of every day God has given you. This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
So let's take today, even with its struggles and make it a good day. Our loving Father God has given this day to me to use as best as I can. The struggles of life won't go away, but remember that God is allowing us to go through it for a reason.
