Strange Story

Fellow Labourers-

As I read this article I could not help but recall the prophet Elijah as he went in hiding from Jezebel. As he sat under the juniper tree, he experienced the fire and the earthquake but God was not in any of those. But then came the still small voice. We are looking for God in the elaborate and the trendy, but we are going to find him where he is welcome. We are going to find him when we seek for him. We are going to find him when we extinguish the false fire.


When Christ showed up in a stable the shepherds were glad. He came where they were, and they had no time to seek for professorial disertations,they heard the message of the angels. I heard a story last night worth repeating. A young mother with a four year old son was pregnant and the four year old son would constantly sing to the baby in the womb, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine----."It came time for the delivery of the baby, and the mother had some complications. When the child was born the doctor put him the intensive care unit with the sad news that the child had only a few hours to live. The four year old kept asking when was he going to see his sunshine, but hospital rules prevented him from going into the intensive care unit. However, whilst the head nurse was not looking they slipped the child past her into the room. As he saw his baby brother he began singing you are my sunshine. The nurse turned around most upset, but saw that the heart monitor on the sick child was normalizing. She shouted keep on singing, and after a few repetition of the song the baby's heart beat was normal, and was soon taken out of intensive care a normal healthy child. Isn't this a strange story. I look forward to many strange stories in the coming year and beyond,what about you.
