WHERE IS GOD?


(In the kitchen. Little Billy has just come back from Sunday school. He is excited).

Billy: (with excitement): Mom! Mom! Guess what
we did in Sunday school today. We learned all
about God. We learned that he knows us, and
loves us, and that he sees us.
Is that true?

Mother: Yes, It’s true God is in all living things.

Billy: Really Mom? Really? How come he can see
us but we can’t see him?

Mother: (Laughing) Do me a favor go wash your
hands for supper, then afterwards we can talk
about the Lord.

Billy: The Lord!? I thought his name was God.

Mother: Alright, I guess dinner will have to wait.
Billy, God has many names not just one.

Billy: He must get confused, people calling him by
all different names.

Mother: No he knows what people call him and
he never gets confused. You see Billy God does
know each of us in a very personal way. He
wants to be our best friend. Even though we
cannot see him we know he is there. Here I will
show you. (takes Billy’s hand and leads him
outside to the garden). Look (she points to the
tomato plants) God is in those tomatoes, He gave
them the sunlight and the rain so that that they
would grow.
God is in the grass, the soil, the animals, and
people.

Billy: Wow God is in all those places?

Mother: Yes and there is one more place we can
find God.

Billy: Where Mom tell me.
Mother (Leading him by the hand) Come with me.
(She goes inside and pulls out her Bible). We can
also find God in here, in His word.

Billy: Wow! (He goes outside and looks at the
trees and the grass and the birds) Hello God how
are you today?

When Helping is not Helping

Having the desire to help others is the calling that brings many into the “helping professions.” For others, it is the day to day service that we do for our families, children and others we work for/or/with. There is a fine line however when helping is not really helping, but rather a barrier that leads to stagnation or worse yet, fosters an unhealthy dependence. Indicators of when helping is NOT helping: 1. When the help we provide is not accepted by others The term I’ve used for years is when helping leads to “help rejecting complainers.” When our helping leads others to excuse themselves of embracing the help, then rejecting it, or avoiding it. This is not a judgment of our help or our intent, but of others’ readiness to change. They may simply not see the same way as you do. They may not value the same things. 2. When the help leads others to make the same poor decisions Any change effort has to be embraced as well as given. It is hard to un...

The Most complex problem

Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant’s beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant’s debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag.If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender’s wife and her father’s debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant’s garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up ...
