Forwarded E-mail

I got a few forwarded E-mail to share with you guys here. Enjoy!

There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat.

He had an old rifle and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out
hunting and kill some wild game for dinner.
As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit. He shot at the rabbit and missed
it. The rabbit ran away.

Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it. The
squirrel disappeared into a hole in a cottonwood tree.
As he went further, he saw a large wild "Tom" turkey in the tree, but he had
only one bullet remaining. A voice spoke to him and said, "Pray first, aim
high and stay focused ."

However, at the same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill. He
brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattlesnake
between his legs about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down
further to shoot the rattlesnake.

Still, the voice said again to him, "I said 'Pray, Aim high and Stay
focused."

So, the man decided to listen to God's voice.
He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey.
The bullet bounced off the turkey and killed the deer.
The handle fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it.
And, when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond.
When he stood up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer
and a turkey to eat for his family.
The snake was dead simply because the man listened to God.

Moral of the story:

Pray first before you do anything. Aim and shoot high in your goals, and
stay focused on God. Never let others discourage you concerning your past.
The past is exactly that. "the past." Live every day one day at a time and
remember that only God knows our future and that He will not put you through
any more than you can bear.
Do not look to man for your blessings, but look to the doors that only He
has prepared in advance for you in your favor.
Wait, be still and patient: keep God first and everything else will follow.

Pass this on in order that someone else might be blessed.

The second E-mail
Dear Folks,



This is just too awesome not to share. It touches my heart, how merciful and graceful our good Lord is for the innocent, irrespective of creed or culture. Indeed, He works in mysterious ways; "for His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts". Isaiah chp 55 vs 9 (The Holy Bible). Praise the Lord!



Subject: Murder Miracle in Egypt
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 05:36:43 -0800 (PST)

A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife and then buried her with their
infant baby and 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! He
then reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later,
another family member died. When they went to bury him, they found the 2
size=2> little girls under the sand - ALIVE !

The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be executed.
The older girl was asked how she had survived. "A man wearing shiny
white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed
us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister," she said.

She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim woman
news anchor. She said on public TV, "This was none other than Jesus,
because nobody else does things like this!"

Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean He really
was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also
clear that
the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way
these children could have survived without a true miracle.

Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figure out what to do
with this, and the popularity of the Passion movie doesn't help! With
Egypt at the centre of the media and education in the Middle East,
you can be sure this story will spread. Christ is still turning the worldface=Arial>
downside up!

Please let this story be shared.

The Lord says, "I will bless the person who puts his trust in me."
Jeremiah 17:7
