A good friend sent this to me and I knew I must share iot with all of you.
A 'devotee' A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to the Church .
'I've gone for 30 years now, he wrote, and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 prayers but for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the Priests are wasting theirs by giving services at all.
This started a real controversy in the 'Letters to the Editor' column, much to the delight of the editor.. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot
recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this... They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to the Church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!
When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!
Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!
All right, now that you're done reading, send it on!!! I think everyone
should read this!! 'When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say,
'God , could you get that for me?!!'
