Isn’t it Strange???????

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 two hours seem so long when you're at church, and how short 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 the 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 at 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 then we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others?

Helo Fr.Joe,

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave and impossible to forget.

Friendship is like a glass so handle it with care once it’s broken its hands to repair. (TAKE CARE)

To love and win is the best thing, To live and lose, the next best.

Life is like a Piano. What u get out of it depends on how u play it.

They may forget what u said, but they never forget how u made them feel.

Accepts U as U are
Believes in U
Call U just to say “hi”
Doesn’t give up on U
Envisions the whole of U (Even the unfinished parts)
Forgives U’r mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps U
Invites U ever
Just be with U
Keeps U close at heart
Loves U for who U are
Makes a difference in Ur life
Never judges
Offers support
Picks U up
Quiets Ur fears
Raises Ur spirits
Says nice things about U
Tells U the truth when U needs to heart it
Understands U
Values U
Walks beside U
X-plain things U don’t understand
Yells when U won’t listen
Zaps U back to reality


Best wishes

God bless u
bye yours
Betsy Tom
