Knowledge of BIG things

The Reverend Billy Graham tells of a time early in his career when he arrived in a small town to preach a sermon. Wanting to mail a letter; he asked a young boy the directions to the post office, nearby. After being told the way by the teenager, the Reverend Graham thanked him, adding: "If you'll come to the Baptist church this evening, you can hear me preaching everyone how to get to Heaven". "I don't think I'll be there," the boy said. "You don't even know your way to the post office." Thought for reflection The fact is that we know all (so called) BIG things (of the society). At the same time, we fail to know little things around us. It’s just because, we are least bothered about the things that we believe as unimportant. “Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the loving kindnesses of the LORD.” Psalm 107:43 "Signs of transforming to sainthood is learning and doing smal...

I didn’t do it

A Sunday school teacher was telling the students of how the walls of Jericho came down amazingly by the blowing of trumpets of the people. Observing that Johnny was daydreaming, the teacher asked him: "Johnny, who knocked down the walls of Jericho?" Johnny started shouting furiously, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it.” And he ran from the class in protest. That evening the teacher met his parents in the park and spoke to Johnny’s mother. She told her the story of what happened in the class and Johnny’s unreasonable outburst. His mother said, “If my son said he didn't do it, then he didn't do it! I trained him not to tell lies.” The perplexed teacher asked Johnny’s mother if she could speak to Johnny’s father. When she explained the incident to him he said: "Let's not fuss about this. Just tell me how much it will cost to repair the walls and I'II write a cheque." Thought for Reflection Human beings have wisdom and...

Is sky blue or white ?

A blonde woman goes to the post office to buy stamps for her Christmas cards. She says to the clerk, " May I have 50 Christmas stamps?" The clerk says, " What denomination? " The woman says, "God help us. Has it come to this?" "Give me 6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran and 22 Baptist.” Thought for Reflection Interpretation and understanding are subjective. We interpret things based on the knowledge we have. While, another person understands as per his own knowledge. "Wisdom is with aged men, With long life is understanding” Job 12:12 “The colour of a “Rose flower” may be “red”, certainly not for all” Antony Pal --- --- --- Author : Mary Antony Sippy The Laughs to Think with Sippichan is a collection of thoughts, stories, reflections and more ... that helps one to Laugh first, then to think and become a better Human Being.

Fruit of the good living

The 85-year-old couple had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they were careful about every penny they spent. Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade. One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven. They reached the pearly gates, and Saint Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silk, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid could be seen hanging their favorite clothes in the closet. They gasped in astonishment when he said. " Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now. " The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. " Why, nothing.” Peter replied, " Remember, this is your reward in Heaven. "...

Thoughtful naughtiness

This happened in a Sunday school’s annual party. Children were lining up for their dine. At the head of the table there was a tray of apples with a note strategically positioned next to it: " Take only one-God is watching ." At the end of the table there was a tray of chocolate chip cookies. One naughty kid hurriedly scrawled a note and placed it right there, reading: " Take all you want-God is busy watching the apples! " Thought for Reflection We have a notion about God, right? But, is that’s all the God ? Right ! “That is what” our god, sure! But the God is beyond our understanding and grasp. That is why we call Him/Her God, right ? “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God” 1 John 4:1 “God is Omniscient, all-pervading and all-powerful therefore lacks nothing.” Antony Pal --- --- --- Author : Mary Antony Sippy The Laughs to Think with Sippichan is a collection of thoughts, stories, reflections and m...

You could ask

An elementary school teacher was teaching second graders about marine animals and said: " The whales, even though they are very large, have throats that are comparatively very small. " A little girl put up her hand and said, " That is not true. We read in the Bible that Jonah was swallowed by a whale." The teacher replied: " Do you think that's true? And how would you know?" The girl said, " I shall ask Jonah about it when I go to heaven.” "And what if he is in hell?" countered the teacher. The girl retorted: " Then you could ask him. " Thought for reflection Kids are human-angels. They think, speak and act like representatives of God. But we argue and counter question their innocence to prove ‘we know much more’ about God. , unknowing the ‘reality”! “Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered.” 2 Peter 2:2 “How ...
