Fwd: Psalm 55:22

*Fwd: This is a forwarded email. I hate spamming so I’m posting them here instead

This was written by a Metro Denver Hospice Physician:

I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd., and the car started to choke and splutter and die - I barely managed to coast, into a gas station, glad only that I would not be blocking traffic and would have a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck. It wouldn’t even turn over. Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the ‘quickie mart ‘ building, and it looked like she slipped on some ice and fel l into a gas pump, so I got out to see if she was okay.

When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by sobs than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked really haggard with dark circles under her eyes She dropped something as I helped her up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a nickel.

At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in the back (1 in a car seat), and the gas pump reading $4.95.

I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help, and she just kept saying ‘I don’t want my kids to see me crying,’ so we stood on the other side of the pump from her car. She said she was driving to California and that things were very hard for her right now. So I asked, ‘And you were praying?’ That made her back away from me a little, but I assured her I was not a crazy person and said, ‘He heard you, and He sent me.’

I took out my card and swiped it through the card reader on the pump so she could fill up her car completely, and while it was fueling, I walked to the next door McDonald’s and bought 2 big bags of food, some gift certificates for more, and a big cup of coffee. She gave the food to the kids in the car, who attacked it like wolves, and we stood by the pump eating fries and talking a little.

She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas City Her boyfriend left 2 months ago and she had not been able to make ends meet. She knew she wouldn’t have money to pay rent Jan 1, and finally in desperation had finally called her parents, with whom she had not spoken in about 5 years. They lived in California and said she could come live with them and try to get on her feet there.

So she packed up everything she owned in the car. She told the kids they were going to California for Christmas, but not that they were going to live there.

I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a quick prayer with her for safety on the road. As I was walking over to my car, she said, ‘So, are you like an angel or something?’ This definitely made me cry. I said, ‘Sweetie, at this time of year angels are really busy, so sometimes God uses regular people.’

It was so incredible to be a part of someone else’s miracle. Of course, you guessed it. When I got in my car it started right away and got me home with no problem. I’ll put it in the shop tomorrow to check, but I suspect the mechanic won’t find anything wrong.

Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the flutter of their wings…

Psalms 55:22 ‘Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.’

 

Fwd: The Importance of Sleep

*Fwd: This is a forwarded email but I hate spamming so I’m posting them here instead

Importance of Sleep

A  man  can  go two weeks without eating. But if he doesn’t rest at all, he can  only  survive  for one week. Sleeping provides us the time to rest our internal  organs, eyes and brains. Poor sleep quality can cause internal damage  to  our  internal  organs and brains. Therefore, sleeping is very important  to  us. If you
wish to have a long life and stay healthy, please take note of the advice below.

5 DON’TS when you are sleeping
DON’T SLEEP WITH WATCH
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though but if you wear  your  watch  to bed for a long time, it might adverse effects on your health.

DON’T SLEEP WITH BRA
Scientists in America have discovered those that wear bras for more than 12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer. So go to bed without it.

DON’T SLEEP WITH PHONE
Putting  the  phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is encouraged. Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, but please put the phone as  far as possible. Scientists have proved that electrical items including mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when used. These waves can cause disruptions to our nervous system. Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you, switch it off first.

DON’T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP
People  who  sleep  with  make up might have skin problems in thelong run. Sleeping  with  make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in breathing and problem in perspiring. You will also need a much longer time to go into deep sleep.

DON’T SLEEP WITH OTHERS’ WIFE
You may never wake up again.

 

Fwd: What Women Want

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a
neighboring kingdom.  The monarch could have killed him but was moved by
Arthur’s youth and ideals.  So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long
as he could answer a very difficult question.  Arthur would have a year to
figure out the answer and, If after a year, he still had no answer, he
would be put to death.

The question was: What do women really want?

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, And to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, He accepted the monarch’s proposition to have an answer by year’s end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone:

The princess, the priests, the wise men, and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, For only she would have the answer. But the price would be high as the witch was famous through out the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch.  She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to
her price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, The most noble of the Knights
of the Round Table, And Arthur’s closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunch-backed and hideous, had only one tooth, Smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc.  He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden, But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.

He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur’s life. And the
reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the
witch answered.

Arthur’s question thus: ‘What a woman really wants?’

She said, ‘Is to be in charge of her own life.’
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great
truth.  And that Arthur’s life would be spared.

And so it was.

The neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom.  And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.  The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom.
But, what a sight awaited him.
The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed.
The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, She would henceforth be her horrible and deformed self only half the time. And the beautiful maiden the other half.

‘Which would you prefer? She asked him.

‘Beautiful during the day …. or at night?’

Lancelot pondered the predicament.

During the day he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends,
But at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch!
Or,
Would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day?
But by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous, intimate moments
with?
(If you are a man reading this…) What would YOUR choice be?

(If you are a woman reading this) What would YOUR MAN’S choice be?

What Lancelot chose, is given below:

BUT… make YOUR choice before you scroll down below… OKAY?
Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch gave Arthur to his question,
He said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time.
Because, he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own
life.

Now… what is the moral to this story?

.
.
.

.

.

.

.

.

The moral is…
1) There is witch in every woman no matter how beautiful she is!
2) If you don’t let a woman have her own way, things are going to get ugly.

So, always remember:IT’S EITHER ‘HER WAY’ OR IT’S ‘NO WAY’ !!!

Fwd: They Walk Among Us

They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail

I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64charge.

I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64.

I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor.

She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again.

I gave her the money back. Same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64.

They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail

I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte.

I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said ‘buy one- get one free.

‘They’re already buy-one-get-one-free,’ she said, ’so I guess they’re both free.’

She handed me my free Lattes and I walked out the door.

They Walk Among Us!

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, ‘Look at that dead bird!’

Someone looked up at the sky and said, ‘Where’?

They Walk Among Us!

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning.

She asked, ‘Does the sun rise in the north?’ When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for some time, she shook her head and said,

‘Oh I don’t keep up with all that stuff.’

They Walk Among Us!!

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, ‘The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.’ He responded, ‘Is that Eastern or Pacific time?’  Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, ‘Uh, Pacific.

‘They Walk Among Us!

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

They Walk Among Us!

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%.

Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases.

The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

I couldn’t find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.

She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands.

‘Now,’ she asked me, ‘has your plane arrived yet?

‘They Walk Among Us!

While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go.

He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding.

‘Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don’t think I’m hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.

Yep, They Walk Among Us! They Walk Among us, and they Reproduce, and Worst of all ………..THEY VOTE
