STRANGE, ISN'T IT?

Isn't it strange how a 1 dollar bill
seems like such a large amount when
you donate it to church, but
such a small amount when you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when
you're at church, and
how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say
when you're praying,
but you have no trouble
thinking what to talk about
with a friend?

Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is
to read one chapter of the Bible,
but how easy it is to read 100 pages of
a popular novel or ZANE GREY book?

Isn't it strange
how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games,
but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church?

Isn't it strange
How we need to know about an event for Church 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but
we can adjust it for other events in the last minute?

Isn't it strange how difficult it is
to learn a fact about God to share it
with others,
but how easy it is to learn, understand,extend and repeat gossip?

Isn't it strange how we believe everything
that magazines and newspapers say,
but we question the words in the Bible?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in
heaven, but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything
to get there?

Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails
and they are forwarded right away,
but when we are going to send messages about God, we think
about it twice before we share it with others?

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

Now that you've read this message,
forward it to anybody that you
consider a friend, family member or foe.
If you don't do it not only
you will deprive
yourself from being blessed,
but you will also do that
to others who may need
God in their life.
