GIVING THANKS

We thank thee Father for thy
Wondrous care in days gone by.
We thank Thee that we do know
Thou still dost reign on High.
And when these earthly trials come,
When wild the billows roll
We thank Thee for the Bible truth
That thou dost keep the soul.
These earthly trials come and go
New ones come on a pace
We thank Thee Father thou dost give
Us glimpses of thy face.
By other friends who walk with Thee
Thou does keep us thru life's storms.
We thank Thee for the food we eat
And for the clothes we wear
We thank Thee for thy promises
And for Thy tender care.
Oh fellow Christians let's join hands
In giving thanks unto
The Father for the joy of giving our love and service too
Let's walk that extra mile for Him
Who gave His all for us
Because it was for you and me
He died upon that cross.
Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee.

3 Bullets

There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old rifle and three bullets.

So, he decided that he would go out hunting and kill some wild game for dinner.

As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit. He shot at the rabbit and missed it. The rabbit ran away.

Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel, but missed it. The squirrel disappeared into a hole in a cottonwood treel.

As he went further, he saw a large, wild "Tom" turkey in the tree, but he had only one bullet remaining.

A voice spoke to him and said, "Pray first, aim high, and stay focused."

However, at the same time he saw a deer which was a better kill.

He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattlesnake between his legs, about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattlesnake.

Still, the voice said again to him, "I said, 'Pray, Aim high, and Stay focused."

So, the man decided to listen to God's voice.

He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree, and shot the wild turkey.

The bullet bounced off the turkey and killed the deer.

The handle fell off the gun, hit the snake in the head, and killed it. And, when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond.

When he stood up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer, and a turkey for his family to eat.

The snake, (Satan), was dead simply because the man listened to God.

Moral of the story:
Pray first before you do anything, aim and shoot high in your goals, and stay focused on God.
