 SUNDAY FUNNIES

The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater 
than these." Mark 12:31

The third Sunday of Advent representing Love.

As we enter the third week of Advent representing Love on our journey to Christmas, 
let us remember the spiritual truth that God blesses your life, and the people in your 
life – through you. You draw to yourself those whom you can bless and those from which 
you can receive a blessing. Your personal life is harmonized by love. God blesses your 
life with love; each person living around you will be blessed by your presence as you 
allow the Christ attribute of love to come forth through you in a mighty, unending stream. 
You are one with the love of God and you allow it to enrich and expand to everyone around you. You can feel very secure in God's love as it continually works through you to all persons. You can expect the outworking of God's love in your life this week.


A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says, 
"I hate to ruin your day but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; 
forty-five years of misery is enough".

"Dad, what are you talking about?'" the son screams.

"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer", the father says. "We're sick 
of each other and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds
and tell her".

Frantically, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone, "Like heck they're 
getting divorced", she shouts, "I'll take care of this".

She calls Scotland immediately and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. 
Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back and we'll both be 
there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Done! They're coming for 
Christmas - and they're paying their own way."

ANONYMITY REQUESTED 

An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher
greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps. "Where
would you like to sit?" he asked politely.

"The front row please." she answered. 

"You really don't want to do that", the usher said. "The pastor is really boring."

"Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired.  

"No." he said.  

"I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly.  

"Do you know who I am?" he asked. 

"No." she said. 

"Good," he answered.

GETTING HIS GOAT 

The young couple invited their aged pastor for Sunday dinner. While they
were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what
they were having. "Goat," the little boy replied.

"Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about that?"

"Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Pa say to Ma, 'Might as well have the
old goat for dinner today as any other day.'"

BEST BUDDIES 

Mary announced that she was going to start a diet to lose some pounds she
had put on recently. "Great," Sue exclaimed. "I'm ready to start a diet,
too. We can be dieting buddies and help each other out. And when I feel
the urge to drive out and get a burger and fries, I'll call you first."

"Wonderful," Mary replied. "I'll go with you."

TIME FOR CHURCH 

One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it was
time to get ready for church, to which he replied, "I'm not going."

"Why not?" she asked.  

"I'll give you two good reasons," he said. "One, they don't like me, and
two, I don't like them."

His mother replied, "I'll give YOU two good reasons why you SHOULD go to
church. One, you're 54 years old, and two, you're the pastor!"

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, this week I allow Your love to come through me unrestricted to everyone. 
Help me to love more, and help me to receive love. Teach me the ways of love instead 
of the ways of the world. I pray that I can follow You in this way, because You 
are love.

Thank You God.


POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I think, speak, act only in loving ways.
