[StBernard] It is Strange Isn't It ?

IT  IS  STRANGE  ISN'T  IT...

Front of New 20 Dollar Bill
Isn't it strange
how a 20 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?

 

If you choose not to share His message you may deprive yourself

from being blessed as well as depriving others...

who may need God in their life.
