HEAVENLY MANNA

The census taker knocked on the lady's door.  She answered all his questions except one.  She refused to tell him her age.      "But everyone tells their age to the census taker," he said.      "Did Miss Maisy Hill, and Miss Daisy Hill tell you their ages?" she asked.      "Certainly," he replied.      "Well, I'm the same age as they are," she snapped.      The census taker simply wrote on the form, "As old as the Hills."      You may have heard that our nation's oldest person, a 113-year-old woman, died recently just weeks before her 114th birthday.  The world's oldest person in the world, according to the Gerontology Research Group, is a Japanese man, who will turn 116 next week. The oldest person ever on record was a Frenchwoman who was 122 when she died in 1997.  All of these could easily be described with the phrase, "As old as the hills."     ...

The following story came to me by way of "Chicken Soul For the Soul".  Its source is listed as "Gentle Spaces News".      A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace and contentment . . . then a new school year began. The very next afternoon three young boys, full of youthful, after-school enthusiasm, came down his street, beating merrily on every trash can they encountered. The crashing percussion continued day after day, until finally the wise old man decided it was time to take some action.      The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as they banged their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, "You kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you express your exuberance like that. Used to do the same thing when I was your age. Will you do me a favor? I'll give you each a dollar if you'll promise to come around ever...

                 Following God is easier when we are led by His Spirit rather than by our   emotions.   It is God's greatest desire that, as believers, you and I progressively   learn how to be led by His Spirit. However, there is a powerful enemy that   stands in the way: our emotions. Satan is the most powerful enemy we face   externally, but internally, it's our emotions that give us some of the   biggest problems.   Emotions are strong, complex internal responses that result in bodily   changes. They are sometimes helpful and at other times hurtful. They come   in positives and negatives. They are not evil, but they also are not holy.   Emotions can make you laugh one hour and cry the next. Not wanting them   doesn't stop them from coming, and wanting them doesn't make them come.   They are apt to quit on us when we need them most and flare up when we   wis...

  The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured,   regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and   central component of the heart.   This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named   Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all   subsequent units.   This defect has been identified as "Subsequential Internal Non-morality,"   more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.   Some of the symptoms include:         1. Loss of direction         2. Foul vocal emissions         3. Amnesia of origin         4. Lack of peace and joy         5. Selfish or violent behavior         6. Depression or confusion         7. Fearfulness         8. Idolatry     ...

A few months ago when I was picking up the children at school, another mother I knew well rushed up to me.  Emily was fuming with indignation. "Do you know what you and I are?" she demanded. Before I could answer, and I didn't really have one handy, she blurted out the reason for her question. It seemed she had just returned from renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office.  Asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation, Emily had hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. "What I mean is," explained the recorder, "Do you have a job, or are you just a .....?" "Of course I have a job," snapped Emily. "I'm a mother." "We don't list 'mother' as an occupation... 'housewife' covers it," said the recorder emphatically. I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The Clerk was obvious...
