hi CARA, this one is from jeff, not an original one but a story full of spiritual lesson. i am passing it to you.
WET PANTS
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 is 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)

Hello Cara,
Thank you for the message. That was sweet of you to check in with me and let me know that you are still hanging in there. Life is a rollercoaster at times. Sometimes more in a christians life than in the life of the unsaved because satan doesnt want you to achieve what God wants you to do for His kingdom. Look at it as if Satan is trying to have his way with you so that you dont do something to destroy him. Something wonderful is going to happen to you and I if we just press on and continue to surrender to God daily. I have to make sure that I do every minute of every day. I feel awful if I do not ask God for forgivness and His grace to carry me through each day. Please be at ease that alot of women go through all kinds of "stuff", but the saved, like you and me, have a hope, a great physician,counselor and guide who will never leave us. Isnt that cool? So, anyway, I miss you and hope things are going better. if you need ot talk, you know where I am.
Paige
Hello Cara!!!
How are you??
I left you a eamil message. I have been thinking about you. Last time we talked, I think that you were going through some stuff and I wondered if that stuff has got better the last month. I have had some stuff happen to me too. Not fun..but I have to remember that God knows, and God is big enough to handle it. I dont know why I like to take over His job because I know very well that I cant do it!!
Anyway, Ill see youlater??
Paige
Hi dear sister Cara,
You do not know how much joy you have brought to my heart by your note. God is very loving and patient with us which makes him eresistable. It is good to know that we have the Heavenly helper, the Holy Spirit in our lives guiding and helping us to over come all the obstacles that come our way.
Hello sweets!!
How are you doing?? I miss you and was wondering how you were. i would love to hear more about what you and your fiance' are up to these days. i am soo happy for you that you have the ring and now when is the date???? Im patiently waiting!!!! How was your Xmas and what did you do this New Years Eve? Do you have a tradition that you have carried on? My mom has moved out of the house i grew up in and now is living in a home that she and her new husband built and i have had a hard time with that the last few months. I cant believe how attached I am to that old house. There are soo many memories attached to that house that it really has made me quite depressed. Its like Im mourning over a actual loved one or something. Plus, my mom didnt spend Xmas with us like she always had because she has been "too busy". I was blown away at that and quite upset. But I knew that she would regret that after a few days, and she did. I dont know why she wanted to move the same week as Christmas?! Oh well, that is my mother for you. Anyway, besides that great let down, our Xmas was ok. Not the best, but not the worst. Our kids loved it so I guess that is all that matters, right?? I now have to continue the traditions that my mother had and it is going to be different, but life is just that way. Its always changing, right??? You are at a blessed time of your life where you will remarry and start a wonderful marriage in Christ. That is soo cool. I wasnt saved when I got married. My husband still isnt married, so pray for him!! Well, I got to go. I hear my girl crying. Love you!! Please call or write!! I love you and God Bless you now and throughout the New Year!!
From our family to yours, Happy New Year!!

Collin Raye - What I Need
I knew all the answers
The way my life should go
And when I used to say my prayers
I would tell God so
It seemed He wasn't listening
I thought He didn't care
But lookin' back
It's plain to see
He was always there
'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
I'm not sayin' that it's easy
Or that it doesn't hurt
When nothing seems to go my way
Nothing seems to work
These days I'm getting better
At goin' with the flow
Accepting that sometimes the answer
To a prayer is no
'Cause I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
Every time I've had a door slammed in my face
In time a better one was opened in its place
I prayed for strength
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need
Cara!

but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.
Father God help us to understand that our faith must be tested and refined that it may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
So help us to perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; that each man's work will become evident.
Thank you Father that the testing of our faith produces endurance.
Therefore we prepare our minds for action, by keeping sober in spirit, by fixing our hope completely on the grace to be brought to us at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
To the degree that we share the sufferings of Christ, help us to keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.
Father thank you for the grace that is given to us through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can respond to the testings and trials that come our way so that Jesus might be glorified by the way we respond to these trials. In the name of Jesus.
Hi Cara my brilliant and awesome friend. I am happy to hear that your feeling better and that your son is with you. Always remember that the Lord will never leave or forsake you. He is also a very present help when we are in need. Each one of us have struggles, but we are learning that we can do all things through Christ who gives us the strength. Don't ever allow the Devil's number one weopon to get the best of you which is condemnation. God's conviction will lead us to freedom, but condemnation will drive us away from God and His people. God in His love corrects us and we love Him more.
You are part of the Body of Christ and we love you and need you.
So please come around a bit more often so we can be blessed by you.
In the love of Jesus.
Bob

Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 6:11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end.
