Challenge

I got an email this morning, one I am sure you have all read. A little boy wets his pants and is humiliated and prays that the Lord help him before someone finds out. Along comes a little girl who "accidentally" trips and dumps water all over him. Later, the little boys says to the girl, "you did that on purpose didn't you?" to which she replies, "I wet my pants before too". I have read this a dozen times, but for some reason this morning I was moved. It is so often that we fail to help someone because we think of what will happen to us instead of how MUCH it will help the other person. I just wanted to share this and encourage you to not only help someone today, but to be selfless. I feel that Jesus wants that of us. He wants us to put ourselves last even though it is so hard to do! So I am going to start today. And start over tomorrow. And the next day until it becomes natural...

One more thing. Did you catch that part where the little boy prayed? He asked Jesus to help him AFTER he wet his pants. Why don't we have that kind of faith? He believed that the Lord could get him out his predicament. The other day, Faith was praying, and she thanked Jesus for letting us scrapbook. I thought it was so cute! Then I started to think about it, and I wondered why it never crossed my mind to thank Him for allowing me the time to do my hobby. Is it really any wonder why He wants us to be as little children?
