Diary Of The Bible
a. January: A busy time for me. Most of the family decided to read me through this year. They kept me busy for the first two weeks. I'm now forgotten.

h. August: Still in the suitcase.
i. September: Back home again, and in my old place. I have lots of company. Two "True Stories" and four "Funny Books" are on top of me. I wish I could be read as much as they are.

మంచి వాక్యము
దేవుడు లోకమును ఎంతో ప్రేమించెను కాగ ఆయాన తన అద్వితీయ కుమారునిగా పుట్టిన వాని యందు విశ్వాసముంచు ప్రతి వాడును నిత్య జీవం పొందునట్లు ఆయనను అనుగ్రహించెను - యోహను ౩: 16
A Nice Story
Six -year-old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his
parents pancakes He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair
to the counter, opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy
flour canister, spilling it on the floor. He scooped some of the flour
into the bowl with his hands, mixed in most of a cup of milk and
added some sugar, leaving a floury trail on the floor which by now
had a few tracks left by his kitten.
Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated. He wanted
this to be something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting
very bad. He didn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into
the oven or on the stove and he didn't know how the stove worked!
Suddenly he saw his kitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached
to push her away, knocking the egg carton to the floor. Frantically he
tried to clean up this monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his pajamas white and sticky.
And just then he saw Dad standing at the door. Big crocodile tears welled up in Brandon's eyes. All he'd wanted to do was something good, but he'd made a terrible mess. He was sure a scolding was coming, maybe even a spanking. But his father just watched him.
Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged him and loved him, getting his own pajamas white and sticky in the process!
That's how God deals with us. We try to do something good in life, but it turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky or we insult a friend, or we can't stand our job, or our health goes sour.
Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think of anything else to do. That's when God picks us up and loves us and forgives us, even though some of our mess gets all over Him. But just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make pancakes" for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right, and then they'll be glad we tried...
