See how this black woman disciplined her son for stealing, lying, and misbehaving in school
"So this lady came in today and told me to give her 11 year old son the George Jefferson..... Because he was stealing and lying and acting up in school and stealing from his mom.
A beautiful story....makes you understand that everything happens for a reason
SO BEAUTIFUL!! SO TRUE!
SUBJECT : THE TABLECLOTH - A Beautiful story....makes you understand that things happen for a reason .
The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn , arrived in early October excited about their opportunities. When they saw
their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve.
They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc, and on December 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished.
On December 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm - hit the area and lasted for two days.
On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had
leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high.
The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home. On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity, so he
stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross
embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.
By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch the bus. She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45 minutes later.
She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put
up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area.
Then he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet. "Pastor,"
she asked, "where did you get that tablecloth?"
The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials 'EBG' were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria .
The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten "The Tablecloth". The
woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria
When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave.
Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to prison and she never saw her husband or her home again.
The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the pastor keep it for the church.
The pastor insisted on driving her home. That was the least he could do. She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job.
What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the
spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door
and many said that they would return.
One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood, continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving.
The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one
that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike?
He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was
supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a prison. He never saw his wife or his home
again in all the 35 years between.
The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier.
He helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the greatest Christmas
reunion he could ever imagine.
True story - submitted by Pastor Rob Reid who says God does work in mysterious ways.
I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for you today, to guide you and protect you as you go along your way. His love is always with you. His promises are true, and when we give Him all our cares we know He will see us through.
So when the road you're traveling seems difficult at best, just remember I'm here praying and God will do the rest.
Pass this on to those you want God to bless and remember to send it back to the one who asked God to bless you first.
When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent this to you.
"Father, God, bless all my friends and family in what ever it is that You know they may be needing this
day! May their lives be full of Your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with You. Amen.
Then share it with friends and family!
You will sure strengthen someone.

Every parents should know this.

From_The_Emergency_Room As a Casualty Medical Officer in the Children Emergency Room, I have seen beautiful promising babies lose their lives because of PARACETAMOL. Yes! Paracetamol has killed so much more babies than you can ever imagined. A case scenario: This 2year old was rushed to the emergency room with gasping respiration... Obviously he was about to die on arrival. As usual, we launched into action to salvage this young chap. While working to save his life, we were asking questions from the mother to know when the illness started... "It started with fever last week" was the response. "Why then did you not bring the child since then?", we inquired. "The fever came down after I gave him paracetamol", the mother answered. That was how the mother continued to give this baby paracetamol until the child could no longer stand erect... Then the baby became breathless and was rushed to the hospital. When we examined, it was obvious the child needs blood as an urgent test confirmed the PCV to be 09% and the baby's heart was already failing (Anaemic Heart Failure). We tried our best but it was too late, we lost the child to the cold hand of death. I was grieved in my heart... As I watched the mother crying unconsolably; she killed her own baby, though ignorantly. Now this is the message I want to pass across: Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain relieving) and an anti-pyretic (Fever 'relieving') drug... It does not cure any disease. For the child in the story above, we later found out through a laboratory test that what the child had was Malaria. There are so many causes of fever... Fever is not a disease, it is just one of the symptoms of a disease. What Paracetamol does is to relieve the symptoms of fever or pain but it does not care for the disease. Malaria was destroying that baby's blood, but it was also giving a signal (fever was the signal in this case) but the mother ignorantly ignored the signal by giving paracetamol. To my readers, use this story to educate people around you, especially those who have children. When you have fever, this is what to do... Have a warm bath... Do not use cold water. Do not run to buy paracetamol. For younger children, do what we call Tepid Sponging... Tepid means warm.... Dip a clean towel into warm (not cold) water and rub the baby's body... As the water dries from the body there will be cooling. If after Tepid sponging for a while, the fever did not subside, it is time to see a Doctor. Do not prescribe paracetamol for a child... See a Doctor and let the cause of the fever be dealt with. Thank you very much for your time.

MUST READ !!!
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.
He was given a slingshot to play with, out in the woods.
He Practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target.
Getting A little discouraged, he headed back for dinner. As he was Walking back he saw Grandma’s pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck Square in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved.
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see His sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After lunch the next day Grandma said, “Sally, let’s wash the Dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.” Then she whispered to him, “Remember the duck?” So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go Fishing and Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help make Supper.”
Sally just smiled and said,” Well that’s all right because Johnny told Me he wanted to help.” She whispered again, “Remember the duck?” So Sally Went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally’s, He finally couldn’t stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, “Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long You would let Sally make a slave of you.”
Thought for the day and every day thereafter?
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done… And the devil Keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad Habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.) ….whatever it is….You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing….. He has seen your whole life.
He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven.
He’s just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave Of you.
The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness, He Not only forgives you, but He forgets . It is by God’s grace and Mercy that we are saved.
Go ahead and make the difference in someone’s life today. Share with a friend and always remember : God is at the window.
