The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited Island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, and soon there was nothing left. The worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. "God, how could you do this to me?" he cried.
Early the next day he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain, and suffering.
Remember this the next time your "hut" seems to be burning to the Ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

Dad, our sadness knows no end;
We can’t believe you’re gone;
We’re grieving for you every day;
It’s hard to carry on. You were always there to care,
When we needed a true friend,
How we’ll ever do without you dad,
We cannot comprehend. You were our teacher and our guide,
Our dad, so good and strong;
Your example will sustain us now,
And last our whole lives long. We’re trying to communicate;
We hope that you can hear;
Expressing what we feel for you,
Helps us feel you’re near. Our memories of the times we had
Help the pain to go away.
But Dad, our lives won’t be the same;
We’ll miss you every day. A part of us went with you;
You left a gap too big to fill;
You’re our father and our hero;
We love you and we always will.

Someone sent this to me in an email. I'm not sure if it is fact or fiction but I like the sound of it!

In Florida , an atheist became incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover holidays... He decided to contact his lawyer about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the long passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged his gavel and declared, 'Case dismissed!'
The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Chris tmas, Easter and many other observances. Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah...yet my client and all other atheists have no such holiday!"
The judge leaned forward in his chair and simply said, "Obviously your client is too confused to even know about, much less celebrate his own atheists' holiday!" The lawyer pompously said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any such holiday for atheists. Just when might that holiday be, your Honor?"
The judge said, "Well it comes every year on exactly the same date---April 1st! Since our calendar sets April 1st as '
April Fools Day,' consider that Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, in my opinion, if your client says there is no God, then by scripture, he is a fool, and April 1st is his holiday! Now have a good day and get out of my courtroom!!"

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

It's more dangerous to weep inwardly rather than outwardly. Outward tears can be wiped away while secret tears scar forever

There are little eyes upon you,
And they’re watching day by day;
There are little ears that surely
Take in every word you say;
There are little hands all eager
To do everything you do.
There’s a little boy who’s dreaming
Of the day he’ll be like you!
You’re that little fellow’s idol,
You’re the wisest of the wise.
In his little mind, about you
No suspicions ever arise;
He believes in you devoutly,
Holds all that you say or do
He will say and do, in your way,
When he’s grown up like you.
There’s a wide-eyed little fellow
Who believes you’re always right;
His keen ears are always open
To catch your words, day or night.
You are setting an example,
Every day in all you do,
For the little boy whose wanting
To grow up and be like you!

WHY WONT YOU READ THIS ?

Why do we sleep in school,
But stay awake through a 3 hour movie?

Why is it so hard to talk about God,
but so easy to talk about sex?

Why are we so bored when we look at a Christian magazine,
but find it easy to read Playboy?

Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly bebo bulletin,
Yet we repost the wish come true ones ones?

Why are churches getting smaller,
But bars and clubs are expanding?

Why is it so easy to purchase beer and drugs?
But so hard to donate 25 cents for a Charity?

Why is it so easy to worship a Celebrity?
But very difficult to engage with God?

Think about it, are you going to repost this?
Are you going to ignore it, x x x x
