lemme tell you guys a little story i read. cos im so tired! slept so late last night. attended SOMEONE's wedding with ka and est! WHOOTS. some last min event that est and i only knew about on fri night. yea. tired tired tired. so here' goes..
there once was a man named George thomas, a pastor in a small New England town. One Easter Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak..."I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright.
I stopped the lad and asked, "What you got there, son?" "Just some old birds," came the reply. "What are you gonna do with them?" I asked. "Take 'em home and have fun with 'em," he answered. "I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time"
"But you'll get tired of those birds sooner or later. What willyou do?"
"Oh, I got some cats," said the little boy. "They like birds. I'll take 'em to them."
The pastorwas silent for a moment. "How much do you want for those birds,son?"
"Huh??!!! Why, you don't want them birds, mister. They're just plain old field birds. They don't sing. They ain'teven pretty!"
"How much?" the pastor asked again.
The boy sized up the pastor as if he were crazy and said, "$10?"
The pastor reached in his pocket and took out a ten dollar bill. He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone. The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot. Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free.
Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the pastor began to tell this story. One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting.
"Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"
"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"
"And what will you do when you get done with them?" Jesus asked.
"Oh, I'll kill 'em," Satan glared proudly.
"How much do you want for them?" Jesus asked
"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you. You don't want those people!!"
"How much?" He asked again. Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your blood, tears and your life." Jesus said, "DONE!"
Then He paid the price. The pastor picked up the cage he opened the door and he walked from the pulpit.
Notes: Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God). Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing? Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me. Isnt it funny that God's stretches out his hand to people with Love, inviting them into his family, but people just turn away from his outstreched hand?
on a lighter note, haha, lots of things to be grateful and thankful for. (: my friendships, all of them. yuyu. (chaoahlian) BINNIE. ETHER. (ahlian wannabe gotta have ahlian name.) ka. SERVE MATES! CHURCHMATES! CHURCHMATES! CHURCHMATES! when bedok corner after church for lunch. was awesome- i love gabrielle's voice, so- . and so the memories come flooding back.

somehow you come to a point in life, you wonder what you're living for. you forget what was your drive in life. who carried you through the darkest moments of life. because we get familiar. so familiar with God. so familiar that everything we do becomes a routine. picture this. hearing this message. " he died, so that you might live." if it was any ordinary day, would you remember it? would you remember it in the midst of your stress filled life. no. cos one would be too farmiliar with that sentence. too farmiliar that God did that for us. too farmiliar that it doesnt registar that God paid the ultimate price for our sins.
we say grace, cos we have to. we pray, because we have to. we go to church, cos we have to. we read the bible, cos we have to. we help somebody, because we have to.
its no wonder people get sick and tired of doing all of the above, because it becomes ones routine, because they do it cos they have to. does anybody realise the love and passion we are supposed to have? if we dont have Love and the heart for doing all that i listed, it'll just be a chore. and when that time comes, be it any day, we'll soon stop bothering. cos we never really bothered to in the beggining.
i guess i sound crazy repeating everything i just said. but my point is, the devil trys to dystroy and relationship, and every relationship that we have with God. the reason why youth groups crack's cos we get farmiliar with the routines. we get familiar with the people. we dont bother to mix with new friends. pastor chris said that. the reason why people stop reading their bibles, cos they are familiar with the feeling of boredom and think that its boring. therefore, they dont give the bible a second chance. such a pity.
