What Does Love Look Like?

What Love means to 4 to 8-year-old children.

* When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'
Rebecca- age 8

* When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.
Margie - age 4

* Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'
Karl - age 5

* Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'
Terri - age 4

* Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.
Bobby - age 7

Funny Church Signs

* Each service is different. We leave the repeats to TV.

* As you pass this little church,
be sure to plan a visit.
So when at last you’re carried in,
God won’t ask, “Who is it?”

* Speak well of your enemies. After all, you made them.

* God is perfect. Only humans make misteaks.

* We are the soul agents in this area.

* The meek shall inherit the earth. If that’s alright with you.

* Happy Easter to our Christian friends. Happy Passover to our Jewish friends. To our atheist friends – good luck!

Did Anyone Get This E-mail?

Angel at Dawn


One day God was looking down at earth and saw all of the selfish behavior that was going on. So God called one of the angels. “Go down to earth. Find out what is going on.” The angel returned and reported to God. “Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not.”
God thought for a moment, and then decided to get a second opinion. So a second angel was sent.
The angel returned and went directly to God. “Yes, it's true. The World is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good.” God was not pleased. “I will send an e-mail to the 5% who are good. I want to encourage them, and help them keep going. The future of the world depends on them.”

Do you know what the e-mail said?
No?
You mean, you didn’t get that e-mail either?

His Sheep Know His Voice

“During the Palestinian uprising in the late 1980s the Israeli army decided to punish a village near Bethlehem (he doesn’t name the village – I wonder if it was Beit Jala, where we have connections?)
The officer in command rounded up all of the village animals and placed them in a large barbed-wire pen.
Later in the week he was approached by a woman who begged him to release her flock, arguing that since her husband was dead, the animals were her only source of livelihood.
He pointed to the pen containing hundreds of animals and humorously quipped that it was impossible because he could not find her animals.
She asked that if she could in fact separate them herself, would he be willing to let her take them? He agreed.
A soldier opened that gate and the woman’s son produced a small reed flute.
He played a simple tune again and again - - and soon sheep heads began popping up across the pen.
The young boy continued his music and walked home, followed by his flock of twenty-five sheep.

To accept that Jesus is the Good Shepherd means that we pop up our heads, catch the timbre of his voice, or recognize the tune he is playing, and get ourselves behind him, wherever he leads.
This means paying attention to God’s voice, as we hear it through Jesus, first of all and above all the other voices that are seeking our attention and allegiance.
