Five Kinds of Fruit
In the middle of the table is a round food tray with five kinds of fruits on it. They are:
a. Apple
b. Banana
c. Strawberry
d. Peach
e. Orange
Which fruit will you choose? Please think VERY carefully and don’t rush into it. This is great, I was astounded! Your choice reveals a lot about you! Test results: Please SCROLL DOWN
If you have chosen:
a. Apple: That means you are a person who loves to eat apples.
b. Banana: That means you are a person who loves to eat bananas.
c. Strawberry: That means you are a person who loves to eat strawberries.
d. Peach: That means you are a person who loves to eat peaches.
e. Orange: That means you are a person who loves to eat oranges.
I hope you find fulfillment in this new insight about yourself. May it bring you peace and understanding, tranquility and all that other profound stuff.
“In as much as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you
have done it unto Me.” Matthew 25:40.
A young lady named Sally relates an experience she had in a seminary
class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith. She says that Dr. Smith was known
for his elaborate object lessons.
One particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in
for a fun day. On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were
many darts.
Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they
disliked or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to
throw darts at the person’s picture. Sally’s friend drew a picture of a
girl who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his
little brother.
Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail
into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was pleased with
the overall effect she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw
their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart. Sally
looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr.
Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to return to their
seats.
As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn’t have a
chance to throw any darts at her target, Dr. Smith began removing the
target from the wall.
Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. A hush fell over the room as
each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks
covered His face and His eyes were pierced.
Dr. Smith said only these words... “In as much as ye have done it unto
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” Matthew 25:40.
No other words were necessary; the tear-filled eyes of the students
focused only on the picture of Christ.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in the US on September 11, 2001. It’s hard to think about that date without mental images of the destruction, grief, and loss that swept over America and the world following those tragic events. The loss of thousands of lives was compounded by the depth of loss felt corporately—a lost sense of security as a country. The sorrow of loss, personal and corporate, will always accompany the memory of the events of that day.
Those horrific events are not the only painful memories of September 11. It also marks the anniversary of my father-in-law’s death. Jim’s loss is felt deeply within our family and his circle of friends.
No matter what kind of sorrow we experience, there is only one real comfort—the mercy of God. David, in his own heartache, cried to his heavenly Father, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eye wastes away with grief, yes, my soul and my body!” (Ps. 31:9). Only in the mercy of God can we find comfort for our pain and peace for our troubled hearts.
In all losses, we can turn to the true Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who alone can heal our brokenness and grief.
Read: Psalm 31:9-15
” No matter what kind of sorrow we experience, there is only one real comfort—the mercy of God. David, in his own heartache, cried to his heavenly Father, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eye wastes away with grief, yes, my soul and my body!” (Ps. 31:9). Only in the mercy of God can we find comfort for our pain and peace for our troubled hearts.”
We are comforted by God’s mercy.
We are saved by His grace.
Thank you, Mayor
Have a blessed Lord’s Day, Meg!
Thank you!
We will indeed NEVER forget!
Have a blessed Sunday y’all.

God Bless America!...and a blessed Sunday to you, too.
Amen, Rus. God bless you, and God bless America!
” We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter; and we will not fail~~George W. Bush”
That was, in my estimation, W’s finest hour.
