At the end of the day while marking the essays, she read one that made her very emotional. Her husband, that had just walked in saw her crying& asked her:- What happened? She answered- Read this: It's one of my students essays 'Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special: Make me into a television. I want to take its place. Live like the TV in my house. Have my own special place, And have my family around ME. To be taken seriously when I talk.... I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without interruptions or questions. I want to receive the same. special care that the TV receives when it is not working. Have the company of my dad when he arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want me when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring me... And... I want my brothers to fight to be with me... I want to feel that family just leaves everything aside, every now and then, just to spend some time with me. And last but not least make it that I can make them all happy and entertain them.. Lord I don't ask you for much... I just want to live like every TV. At that moment the husband said:- 'My God, poor kid. What horrible parents! She looked up at him and said:- 'That essay is our son's!!! ;-(

"A Fresh Look!"  A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while they were having their breakfast, the young women saw her neighbour putting out clothes to dry in sun. "That laundry is not clean.", she said. "She doesn't know how to wash clothes. Perhaps She needs to use a better soap", she added. Her husband looked on, but remained silent. 

Every time the neighbour would hang her wash to dry,the young woman would make the same comment. A month later,the women was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband "Look, she had learnt to wash. The clothes look clean. I wonder who taught her this. " The husband said " I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows ."

LESSON OF THE STORY:
WHAT WE SEE WHEN WATCHING OTHERS DEPENDS ON OUR WINDOW THROUGH WHICH WE LOOK!

"Are you listening or just hearing?"
A young man had been to Wednesday night Bible Study.
The Pastor had shared about listening to God and obeying
the Lord's voice. The young man couldn't help but
wonder, "Does God still speak to people?" After service he
went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they
discussed the message. Several different ones talked
about how God had led them in different ways. It was
about ten o'clock when the young man started driving
home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, "God...If
you still speak to people speak to me. I will listen. I will
do my best to obey." As he drove down the main street of
his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a
gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, "God
is that you?" He didn't get a reply and started on toward
home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk. The
young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't
recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to
Eli. "Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk." It
didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could
always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon
of milk and started off toward home. As he passed
Seventh Street, he again felt the urge, "Turn Down that
street." This is crazy he thought and drove on past the
intersection. Again, he felt that he should turn down
Seventh Street. At the next intersection, he turned back
and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud,
"Okay, God, I will".
He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he
should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked
around. He was in semi commercial area of town. It
wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods
either. The businesses were closed and most of the
houses looked dark like the people were already in bed.
Again, he sensed something, "Go and give the milk to the
people in the house across the street." The young man
looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the
people were either gone or they were already asleep. He
started to open the door and then sat back in the car
seat. "Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if
I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look
stupid." Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk.
Finally, he opened the door, "Okay God, if this is you, I will
go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want
me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be
obedient. I guess that will count for something but if they
don't answer right away, I am out of here." He walked
across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some
noise inside. A man's voice yelled out, "Who is it? What
do you want?" Then the door opened before the young
man could get away.
The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He
looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look
on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some
stranger standing on his doorstep. "What is it?" The
young man thrust out the gallon of milk, "Here, I brought
this to you." The man took the milk and rushed down a
hallway. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying
the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her
holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears
streaming down his face.
The man began speaking and half crying, "We were just
praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out
of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was
just praying and asking God to show me how to get some
milk."
His wife in the kitchen yelled out, "I ask him to send an
Angel with some. Are you an Angel?" The young man
reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he
had on him and put in the man's hand. He turned and
walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming
down his face. He knew that God still answers prayers.
This is so true. Sometimes it's the simplest things that
God asks us to do that cause us, if we are obedient to
what He's asking, to be able to hear. His voice more
clear than ever. Please listen, and obey! It will bless you!
