Wet Pants
Posted On: 02/24/2007 11:16:42

      Come with me to a third grade classroom.....  There is

     a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a

     sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the

     front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is

     going to stop because he cannot  possibly imagine how

     this has happened. It's never happened before, and he

     knows that when the boys find out he will never hear

     the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never

     speak to him again as long as he lives.

  

     The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts

     his head down and prays this prayer, "Dear God, this

     is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from

     now I'm dead meat."

     He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher

     with a look in her eyes that says he has been

     discovered.

     As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate

     named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled

     with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and

     inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.

  

     The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is

     saying to himself, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"

  

     Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of

     ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The

     teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts

     to put on while his pants dry out. All the other

     children are on their hands and knees cleaning up

     around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as

     life would have it, the ridicule that should have been

     his has been transferred to someone else - Susie.

  

     She tries to help, but they tell her to get out.

     You've done enough, you klutz!"

  

     Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting

     for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers,

     "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Susie whispers

     back, "I wet my pants once too."

  

   

     May God help us see the opportunities that are always

     around us to do good.

   

     Remember.....Just going to church doesn't make you a

     Christian any more than standing in your garage makes

     you a car.

  

      Each and everyone one of us are going through tough times right now,

but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the

faith.

      My instructions were to pick four (4) people that I  wanted God to

bless, and I picked you. Please pass this to at least four (4) people you

want to be blessed and a copy back to me.

      This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we

receive.   There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to pray for

one another.

      The prayer:

      Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care

deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of

Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at

this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where

there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Where

there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes,

families, finances, their goings and their comings.  Amen.

      (If the Lord lays upon your heart to send this to more than four "4"

people, you are truly blessed).

 Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about

it.
