The Sneeze

THE SNEEZE (received in an email)

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the
already crowded auditorium.

With their rich maroon gowns flowing .. and the traditional caps, they
looked almost … as grown up as they felt.

Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away
tears.

This class would NOT pray during the commencements—-not by choice, but
because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.
The principal and several students were careful to stay within the
guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and
challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one
asked for blessings on the graduates or their families.
The speeches were nice, but they were routine…..until the final speech
received a standing ovation.

A solitary student walk ed proudly to the microphone. He stood still and
silent for just a moment, and then, it happened.

All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!!

The student on stage.. simply looked at the audience and said, ‘GOD
BLESS YOU!’ And he walked off stage…

The audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had found a
unique way to invoke God’s blessing on their future with or without the
court’s approval. Isn’t this a wonderful story? Pass it on to all your
friends………and GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

This is a true story; it happened at the University of Maryland

Jesus Knocking

JESUS KNOCKING ~

A nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little ones’ chests,
would plug the stethoscope into their ears and let them listen to their
own hearts. Their eyes would always light up with awe. But she never
got a response to equal four-year-old David’s.


Gently he tucked the stethoscope in his ears and placed the disk over
his heart. “Listen,” she said, “What do you suppose that is?”
He drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up as if
lost in the mystery of the strange tap-tap-tapping deep in his chest.
Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin. “Is that Jesus knocking?”


Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen for the knock of Jesus upon the door of your heart.

~Whisper Jesus~
Today I got a burden
And I felt that I should pray
For God’s spirit seemed to tell me
That you needed prayer today


I don’t know what the problem is
I sure do know the cure
And if you’ll only let Him
God will keep you safe and secure


In life there’s always problems
Cropping up to spoil our day
My friend you know the answer
All you have to do is pray


If you still feel you’re defeated
And you want to run and hide
Just reach out and I’ll be there
Right there by your side

Remember, Whisper “Jesus”
For He is just a prayer away
He’s so close that you can touch Him
All you have to do is pray

I wish a very Happy Easter to all of me readers (yes, all 4 of you!).
