God Are You Real
The
child whispered,
" God,
speak to me
"
And a meadowlark
sang,
But the child
did not hear.
So
the child
yelled,
" God,
speak to me!"
And the thunder
rolled across
the sky,
But the child
did not listen.
The child looked
around and said,
"God, let
me see you."
And a star shone
brightly,
But the child
did not notice.
And the child shouted,
"God, show
me a miracle!"
And a life was
born,
But the child
did not know.
So the child
cried out in
despair,
"Touch me
God,
Just to let me
know you are
here!"
God reached down,
And touched the
child.
But the child
brushed the
butterfly away,
And walked away
unknowingly.
Take time to
notice!

Old Couple In Heaven
This
85 year old
couple, having
been married
almost 60 years,
had died in a
car crash.
They had been in
good health the
last ten years
mainly due to
her interest in
health food, and
exercise.
When they
reached the
pearly gates,
St. Peter took
them to their
mansion
which was decked
out with a
beautiful
kitchen and
master bath
suite and
Jacuzzi.
As they "oohed
and aahed"
the old man
asked Peter how
much all this
was
going to cost.
"It's
free,"
Peter replied,
"this is
Heaven."
Next they went
out back to
survey the
championship
golf course that
the home
backed up to.
They would have
golfing
privileges
everyday and
each week the
course changed
to a new one
representing the
great golf
courses on
earth.
The old man
asked,
"What are
the green
fees?".
Peter's reply,
"This is
heaven, you play
for free."
Next they went
to the club
house and saw
the lavish
buffet lunch
with the
cuisines of the
world laid out.
"How much
to eat?"
asked the old
man.
"Don't you
understand yet?
This is heaven,
it is
free!"
Peter replied
with
some
exasperation.
"Well,
where are the
low fat and low
cholesterol
tables?"
the old man
asked
timidly.
Peter lectured,
"That's the
best part. .
.you
can eat as much
as you like of
whatever you
like and you
never get fat
and you never
get sick.
This is
Heaven."
With that the
old man went
into a fit of
anger, throwing
down his hat and
stomping on it,
and shrieking
wildly.
Peter and his
wife both tried
to calm him
down, asking him
what was wrong.
The old man
looked at his
wife and said,
"This is
all your fault.
If it weren't
for your blasted
bran muffins, I
could have been
here ten years
ago!"
