Night Out Dancing
A
husband, who is not the most outgoing guy, relents to his wife's months of
nagging to take her out dancing. During the evening one guy on the dance floor
is giving it large - break dancing, moon walking, back flips, the works.
Seeing this
performance, the wife turns to her husband and says: "See that guy? 25
years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down."
Her husband
replies, "Looks like he's still celebrating!!!"
OUCH!!!!
CONCLUSION
OF SUNDAY’S SERMON:
I
THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL PLACE TO BRING THIS SECTION OF THE SERIES TO A
CLOSE…YOU SEE GOD IS INTERESTED IN OUR LIVES
THERE IS NOT AN EVENT…A PLACE OR A PERSON THAT ESCAPES HIS NOTICE…
GOD
IS BUSY ENCOURAGING AND WANTS US TO ALLOW HIM TO LEAD US…IF WE DON’T HE WILL
INTERVENE…
FOR OUR GOOD….WHEN WE THINK GOD HAS
FORGOTTEN US…that’s IS WHEN WE WILL FIND HIM NEARER THAN EVER….
BUT WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE A TRICKSTER…TO GET
CLOSE TO HIM…THE SCRIPTURES TELL US TO DRAW NIGH UNTO HIM AND HE WILL DRAW NIGH
(CLOSE) TO US….
WE NEED THAT CLOSENESS AND WE CERTAINLY NEED
HIM IN OUR EVERY EVENT…PLACE AND IN OUR PERSON AS WELL.
MAY YOU BE AWARE OF
GOD’S
PRESENCE EVERY MOMENT
THIS WEEK
SEE YOU SUNDAY….
GOD BLESS YOU…
EMILE
