Yippee!

"There'll be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 respectable people who do not need to repent." Luke 15:7

A teacher had her students to rewrite Jesus' Parable of the Lost Sheep, putting it in a mod-ern setting. One student wrote: "Suppose you finish typing a 100-page term paper. Then you discover one sheet is missing.What do you do? You search for it. When you find it, you are so happy that you throw other 99 sheets, into the air, saying,"Yippee! I found my lost sheet! That's how God feels when you start back to church again."

Ask yourself: Am I as forgiving toward others as God is forgiving toward me?

"Teach me to feel another's woe,to hide the fault I see;That mercy I show to others,
That mercy show to me." Alexander Pope
