Sweet story

WET PANTS
Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There
is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a
sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the
front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going
to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this
has happened. It's never happened before, and he
knows that when the boys find out he will never hear
the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak
to him again as long as he lives. The boy believes his
heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays
this prayer, 'Dear God, this is an emergency! I need
help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat.'
He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher
with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.
As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate
named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled
with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and
inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.
The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying
to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!'
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of
ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher
rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put
on while his pants dry out. All the other children are on
their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The
sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the
ridicule that should have been his has been transferred
to someone else - Susie.
She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done
enough, you klutz!' Finally, at the end of the day, as they
are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and
whispers, 'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie
whispers back, 'I wet my pants once too.'
May God help us see the opportunities that are always
around us to do good..
Remember.....Just going to church doesn't make you a
Christian any more than standing in your garage makes
you a car. Each and everyone one of us is going through
tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless
you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.
