We had a power outage here this morning and my PC, laptop,
TV, DVD, iPad and my new surround sound music system were all shut down. Then I discovered that my iPhone battery was flat. To top it off, it was snowing and icy so I couldn't go for a walk, bike or run. The garage door opener needs electricity, so I couldn't go anywhere in the car. I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then remembered that this
also needed power, so I sat and talked with my wife for a few hours.
She seems like a nice person.

HAVING A BAD DAY ?
Me: God, can I ask You a question?
God: Sure
Me: Promise You won't get mad
God: I promise
Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do u mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late
God: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start
God: Okay
Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait
God: Huummm
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call
God: All right
Me: And to top it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?
God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
Me (humbled): OH
GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed):Okay
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm Sorry God
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.
Me: I will trust You.
God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.
God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...
Isn't that fantastic? God truly is Love and He demonstrates that 24/7.
"The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good."
Proverbs 15:3

One evening, after the honeymoon, Dick was working on his Harley in the garage. His new wife was standing there by the bench watching him.
After a long period of silence she finally said, "Honey, I've just been thinking, now that we're married, maybe it's time you quit spending so much of your time out here in your garage. You probably should consider selling your Harley and all that welding equipment; they take up so much of your time. And that gun collection and fishing gear, they just take up so much space. And you know the boat is such an ongoing expense; and you hardly use it. I also think you should lose all those stupid model airplanes and your home brewing equipment...and what's the use of that vintage hot rod?
Dick got a horrified look on his face.
She noticed and said, "Darling, what's wrong?"
He replied, "You were starting to sound like my ex-wife."
"Ex-wife!?" she shouted, "YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE!"
Dick replied, "I wasn't..

Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong preaching on the devil. One said to the other, 'What do you think about all this Satan stuff?' The other boy replied, 'Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your Dad.'

This is what all of us 70+ year olds, and those yet-to-be, have to look forward to!! This happened at a local assisted living center. The people who lived there had small apartments but they all ate at a central cafeteria. One morning one of the residents didn't show up for breakfast so the Nurses Aide went upstairs and knocked on his door to see if everything was OK. She could hear him through the door and he said that he was running late and would be down shortly, so she went back to the dining area.
An hour later he still hadn't arrived so she went back up towards his room but found him on the stairs. He was coming down the stairs but was having a difficult time. He had a death grip on the hand rail and seemed to have trouble getting his legs to work right.
She told him she was going to call an ambulance but he told her no, he wasn't in any pain and just wanted to have his breakfast. So she helped him the rest of the way down the stairs and he had his breakfast.
When he tried to return to his room he was completely unable to get up even the first stair step so they called an ambulance for him.
A couple hours later she called the hospital to see how he was doing.
The receptionist there said he was fine, he just had both of his legs in one side of his boxer shorts. I am sending this to my children so that they don't sell the house before they know all the facts.

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
The next day, the kids came back and, one by one...began to tell their stories.
There were all the regular types of stuff: spilled milk and pennies saved...
But then the teacher asked Janie: "Janie, do you have a story to share?"
''Yes ma'am. My daddy told me a story about my Mommy. She was a Marine pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife. She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break, and then her parachute landed her right in the middle of 20 Iraqi troops. She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands."
''Good Heavens," said the horrified teacher. "What did your Daddy tell you was the moral to this horrible story?"
"Stay away from Mommy when she's been drinking."

Interesting link Tim.
I've had this experience three times in my life. The first time when I was giving birth and having a C-section. The second time, when a car was about to plow into my son's side of his small fiero.
The 3rd time was when I was hit by lighting... that one I do believe was a God thing to get my attention! No rain, no lighting going on, just sun shine. One darn bolt of lighting out of no where; on a very sunny day and it was meant for only me! Gee I would like for someone to explain that one.
I believe it's the separation of the soul from our bodies.
I actually felt the separation, being lifted up and seeing everything on the ground. I saw the brightest white light, that's not of this world. It's so bright, that it blinds you. I could see all that was going on around me as I'm being lifted. I could hear the neighbor from across the street asking if everything was alright.
Our bodies may die, but our souls go on. It's probably one of the reasons why we get new bodies in heaven.
I'm not afraid of dying. I'm only worried what happens to those I leave behind and what I may be missing out on.

Lightning can travel over 25 miles, you probably never saw the storm that it originated from. There are a number of stories just like this, where a bolt traveled a long distance in seemingly sunny and blue skies - but actually originated from a storm cloud.
You're welcome;
Are you safe from lightning if the skies are clear?

Oh ye of littler faith.
If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed; even you could move a mountain.
