Merry Christmas Everyone

Another Christmas is here already. No I am not organised yet, LOL, but I'm sure I will be before the day. I never like getting started too early. The long wait tends to spoil my fun. So I start late and have a mad fun dash towards the end instead. Here's wishing you all have a great christmas. No matter how it goes, remember it's only a day. The gift we have been given through it, lasts for a lifetime and beyond. I can't leave without a bit of fun and a song, so here goes.....

Have you ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer .......................... $        2.00
Knowing where to tap ............................ $  9,998.00 .                        GRAND TOTAL ……………………………………………$10,000.00

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.   I pray GOD to always give us the insight to know WHERE TO TAP whenever we are faced with the dangers and tribulations associated with the world of today.


...a man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven... Jn 3:27
