One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. He doesn't exist.
A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she must not have one!
"FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT"
A man risked his life by swimming through the treacherous riptide to save a youngster being swept out to sea. After the child recovered from the harrowing experience, he said to the man, "Thank you for saving my life. The man looked into the little boy's eyes and said, "That's okay, kid. Just make sure your life was worth saving."
Father, I ask You to bless my friend reading this right now!
Lord, 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-doubting, release a renewed confidence in
Your ability to work through them.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them
understanding, patience, and strength as they learn Your leading.
Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing
Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You.
Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage.
Where there is sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life.
Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders, and friends to support, and encourage them.
Give each of them discernment to recognize the demonic forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it.
I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name!
When times get tough and you feel down,
good friends are hard to come by.
But down worry when i see you frown
I'll be right by your side.
It may be a boy that breaks your heart
I promise, the pain will fade away
But don't you worry I will do my part
To be there for you every day.
But perhaps its your parents that made you cry
They are the ones who have you upset
They don't mean too make you have tears in your eyes
And on that i am sure to bet
And some times you just feel down and out
Just need a friend to on whom you can rely
Don't worry we can talk about
Whatevers on your mind
You can call me even if it's late
Or if I'm studying for a test
Even if you know, that I am on a date
To help I will do my best
Because your my friend you can rely on me
To get you through those bad times
As long as i can have the same guarantee
That you will be there for me
Together forever until the end
Facing the worst with my very best friend
To count on for comfort with a hand to guide
Standing forever side by side
Problems arise but disappear
Whenever I see that youre near
Laughter, sorrow, secrets, to share
Always showing your love and youre care
When in doubt my saddening will stay
Until youre there with a kind word to say
Facing the future until the end
Standing together forever friends
