The Tablecloth - A True Story

 

    Beautiful story.... makes you understand that things happen for a reason 
 The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn , arrived in early October excited about their opportunities When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service 
on Christmas Eve.
 
 They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc, and on December 18
were ahead of schedule and just about finished. 

On December 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days. 
O
 n the 21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high.
 The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone 
the Christmas Eve service, headed home.
 
On the way he noticed that a local business was  having a flea market type sale for charity so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth 
with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross
 embroidered right in the center. It was just 
the right size to cover up the hole in the front
  wall. He bought it and headed back to the church. 
B
y this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was 
trying to catch the bus.. She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for 
the next bus 45 minutes later. 


She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area. 

T
hen he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet.... 'Pastor,'
she asked, 'where did you get that tablecloth?' 
The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria  

T
he woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten the Tablecloth. The woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria . 
When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week.. He was captured, sent to prison and never saw her husband or her home again. 

The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth;but she made the pastor keep it for the church.
   The pastor insisted on driving her home, that was the least he could do.. She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn  for the day for a housecleaning job.
W
hat a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return. 

One older man, whom the pastor recognized
  from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving. 
T
he man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike. 
H
e told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was 
supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a prison.. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years in between. 

T
he pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten 
Island and to the same house where the pastor
  had taken  the woman three days earlier. 
H
e helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on
the door and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine.
 

T
rue Story - submitted by Pastor Rob Reid 
Who says God does not work in mysterious ways..
 I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for  you today, to guide you and protect you as you go along your way. His love is always with you, His promises are true, and when we give Him all our cares you know He will see us through.

Engineer VS Management

Engineer VS Management 

  A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.

She reduced altitude and spotted a man below.
She descended a bit more and shouted, 'Excuse me sir, can you help me?
I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but
I don't know where I am.'
 
The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering
 approximately 30 feet above the ground.
You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and
between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'
 
'You must be an engineer,' said the lady balloonist.
'I am', replied the man. 'How did you know?'
 
'Well, answered the balloonist, 'everything you told me is
 technically correct, but I've no idea what
to make of your  information, and the fact is I'm still lost.
Frankly, you've not been much help to
me at all. If anything you've delayed my trip even more.'     

The man below responded, 'You must be in management.'

'I am,' replied the lady balloonist, 'but, how did you know?'

'Well,' said the man, 'You don't know where you are, or where you're going.
 You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air within.
You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and
 you expect people beneath you, to solve your problems.'

Parents Beware : Now, kids find a sex game!

Now, kids find a sex game!

Brit kids, as young as seven, are increasingly shopping for "shag bands"- cheap plastic bracelets with different colours, referring to various sex acts.

 



Available for just 1 pound on any High Street, the shag bands have become the latest craze among students, and horrified parents across the country. The different colours - black, blue, red, pink, purple, orange, yellow, green and gold - show how far the little pupils will "go" if propositioned, from a kiss to full sex.

Kids chase each other around schools, and, if they break the band off the wearer's wrist, the wearer has to offer the physical act that corresponds to the colour of the band. "A yellow band is the best because all it means is you have to hug a boy. An orange means a love bite and purple is a full-on snog," The Sun quoted a 12-year-old girl as saying.

"If a boy breaks a pink band, a girl has to flash her boobs, a red band means you have to give him a lap dance and a blue is some sort of oral sex. The black means you have to go all the way with a boy. "A gold band is the most important and means you have to do all of the above. They are pretty rare, so if you find a gold band in a shop, you have to get your mum to buy it. "I don't think parents have any idea what the bracelets mean because all the kids at my school wear them and don't get told off," she added.

And if this is not enough, those who do not wear a bracelet are looked down by their peers, while they get respect for wearing the more daring black and gold ones. Parents, who happen to know about the trend, are disgusted with the promiscuous behaviour their kids are indulging in. While some schools and parents have confiscated the bands, many are still unaware of the meaning behind the bracelets.

Another shocking craze many parents are oblivious to is "rainbow parties" - booze and drug-fuelled gatherings where girls wear bright lipstick of different colours to leave their "mark" on boys while giving them oral sex
