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.

Here is a nice 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.
