WHERE ARE THE BLOGS!!!

By now my loyal reader have just about had it... I know, no new blogs... but I just find it so hard to blog without pictures... so, what I have been doing is blogging and saving them as drafts until I can add the photos.... which, should be VERY soon as the computer is fixed and just waiting for collection.

but, this morning as I was spending my time with the Lord, a story keeps coming to mind, and I just have to share it....

A family is trapped by a flood and stuck on the roof of their house, the rains are pouring down and the water is rising... as they wait, a man comes by with a canoe... "get in" he says "I will paddle us to safety"... The family says.. "no, we are fine, God will save us"

A bit later another man comes by with a row boat, he says to the family... "get in, I will row you to safety", but the family replies, "we will wait, God will save us"

The rains come harder, the flood gets bigger, along comes a man in a motor boat "get in, I will take you to safety".. and yet the family refuses saying "we'll wait for God to save us"...

well, the family finds themselves in heaven.. confused, they look around and when they meet up with the Good Lord they say... "We don't understand, we waited for you to save us"...

the Good Lord looks at the family and says... "I sent you a canoe, a row boat and a motor boat... what where you looking for?"

the family looks at the Good Lord and says.... "we were waiting for a helicopter"....

The thing is, I've been looking for that helicopter myself, and it occurred to me that I have had several "boats" come my way lately... think it's time to "forget that helicopter" and say thank you for the "boats"........
