Years ago, I was enthralled as I listened to a pastor who for several years had faithfully served the church. His executive responsibilities had taken him all over this country. As he concluded his message, he told of one of the most frightening, yet thought-provoking, experiences of his life. He had been on a long flight from one place to another. The first warning of
the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten your seat belts. Then, after a while, a calm voice said, "We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is fastened."

As he looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming apprehensive. Later, the voice of the announcer said, "We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us."

Then the storm broke. The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even above the roar of the engines. Lightening lit up the darkening skies, and within moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a celestial ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.

The pastor confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, "As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying. The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm.

Then, I suddenly saw a little girl. Apparently the storm meant nothing to her. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat; she was reading a book and every thing within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being buffeted by the terrible storm when it lurched this way and that, as it rose and fell with frightening severity,when all the adults were scared half to death, that marvelous child was completely composed and unafraid." The minister could hardly believe his eyes.

It was not surprising therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to disembark,our pastor lingered to speak to the girl whom he had watched for such a long time. Having commented about the storm and behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid.

The child replied, "'Cause my Daddy's the pilot, and he's taking me home."

[sizePURPOSE ... a life changing story

I thought the guy was crazy, picking up starfish on the beach and
throwing them back. "I am saving them from the hot sun," he explained.

"But that's a little crazy, don't you think?" I asked. "I mean, there
are millions of them along this coast. Throwing a few back won't even
make a difference."

The guy threw another back into the water and turned to me. "I just
made a difference for that one."

How are you making a difference in the life of your family & friends?

A man joined a big Multi National Company as a trainee.
On his first day, he dialed the pantry and shouted into the phone :
"Get me a cup of coffee, quickly!"
The voice from the other side responded: "You fool, you've dialled the
wrong extension! Do you know who you're talking to ?"
"No" replied the trainee.
"It's the Managing Director of the company, idiot!"
The trainee shouted back: "And do you know who YOU are talking to, you
IDIOT ?"
"No!" replied the Managing Director indignantly.
"Good!" replied the trainee and put down the phone"

A Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little
daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that
you don't fall into the river." The little girl said,
"No, Dad. You hold my hand."

"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.

"There's a big difference," replied the little
girl."If I hold your hand and something happens to me,
chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you
hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what
happens, you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in
its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the
person whom you love rather than expecting
them to hold urs...
