12/12–God Will Part Your Problems Like The Red Sea
Story:
12/12–One day a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The farmer frantically thought what to do as the stricken animal cried out to be rescued.
With no obvious solution, the farmer regretfully concluded that as the donkey was old, and as the well needed to be filled in anyway, he should give up the idea of rescuing the beast, and simply fill in the well. Hopefully the poor animal would not suffer too much, he tried to persuade himself.
The farmer asked his neighbours help, and before long they all began to shovel earth quickly into the well. When the donkey realised what was happening he wailed and struggled, but then, to everyone’s relief, the noise stopped.
After a while the farmer looked down into the well and was astonished by what he saw.
The donkey was still alive, and progressing towards the top of the well. The donkey had discovered that by shaking off the dirt instead of letting it cover him, he could keep stepping on top of the earth as the level rose. Soon the donkey was able to step up over the edge of the well, and he happily trotted off.
Life tends to shovel dirt on top of each of us from time to time. The trick is to shake it off and take a step up.

Scripture:
Romans 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Humor:
A couple were dining out together celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary.
After the meal, the husband presented his wife romantically with a beautiful very old gold antique locket on a chain.
Amazingly when his wife opened the locket, a tiny fairy appeared.
Addressing the astonished couple, the fairy said, “Your forty years of devotion to each other has released me from this locket, and in return I can now grant you both one wish each – anything you want..”
Without hesitating, the wife asked, “Please, can I travel to the four corners of the world with my husband, as happy and in love as we’ve always been?”
The fairy waved her wand with a flourish, and magically there on the table were two first-class tickets for a round-the-world holiday.
Staggered, the couple looked at each other, unable to believe their luck.
“Your turn,” said the fairy and the wife to the husband.
The husband thought for a few seconds, and then said, with a little guilt in his voice, “Forgive me, but to really enjoy that holiday of a lifetime – I yearn for a younger woman – so I wish that my wife could be thirty years younger than me.”
Shocked, the fairy glanced at the wife, and with a knowing look in her eye, waved her wand…..
and the husband became ninety-three.
