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.

Grab A Tissue Or Stay Away, The First Time You Believe Sep 5, 2008 2:59 pm

There was once a man who didn't believe in God, and he didn't hesitate to let others know how he felt about religion and religious holidays. His wife, however, did believe, and she raised their children to also have faith in God and Jesus, despite his disparaging comments.
One snowy Eve, his wife took their children to church, and he stayed home. A while later, the winds grew stronger and the snow turned into a blizzard. As the man looked out the window, all he saw was a blinding snowstorm. He sat down to relax before the fire for the evening. Then he heard a loud thump. Something had hit the window. He looked out, but couldn't see more than a few feet. When the snow let up a little, he ventured outside to see what could have crashed into his window.
In the field across the street from his house he saw a flock of wild geese. Apparently they had been flying south for the winter when they got caught in the snowstorm and couldn't go on. They were lost and stranded on his farm, with no food or shelter. They just flapped their wings and flew around the field in low circles, blindly and aimlessly. A couple of them had flown into his window, it seemed. That must have been what crashed into my window, he thought.
The man felt sorry for the geese and wanted to help them. The barn would be a great place for them to stay while the storm blew over. It's warm and safe. They could spend the night and wait out the storm. So he walked over to the barn and opened the doors wide, then watched and waited, hoping they would notice the open barn was open and go inside.
But the geese just fluttered around aimlessly and didn't seem to notice the barn or realize what it could mean for them. He made a bread crumb trail. They still didn't catch on. He got behind them and tried to shoo them toward the barn, but they only got more scared and scattered. He thought for a moment and realized that they just wouldn't follow a human. "If only I were a goose, then I could save them," he said out loud.
Then he had an idea. He went into barn, got one of his own geese, and carried it in his arms as he circled around behind the flock of wild geese. He then released it. His goose flew through the flock and straight into the barn and one-by-one, the other geese followed it to safety.
Suddenly it all made sense what God had done through Jesus. Years of doubt and disbelief vanished with the passing storm. He fell to his knees in the snow, and prayed his first prayer.

Why do people constantly return to the
refrigerator with hopes that something new
to eat will have materialized?

Well I mean no disrespect to those on the front page but tired of seeing the same thing every time I click the link to the page. I have never seen it take this long for BC to fix a problem. Well as a free member I have no voice in it all, hahahahaha, so nothing to gain for me either way.
As for the family, little Billy just turned 8 months and is big as a baby horse, hahahaha, the kids are back in school, Charie and I are doing online classes and I am back at work full time once again.
God continues to spare us from all the storms and hurricanes that are popping up so I thank Him for that. There are few more heading our way so continue to pray for all of those places in the path of them, cheers and God bless you all.
