Counterfeit Jade

A Chinese boy who wanted to learn about jade went to study with a talented old teacher. This gentle man put a piece of the precious stone into his hand and told him to hold it tight. Then he began to talk of philosophy, men, women, the sun and almost everything under it. After an hour he took back the stone and sent the boy home. 

The procedure was repeated for several weeks. The boy became frustrated. When would he be told about the jade? He was too polite, however, to question the wisdom of his venerable teacher. 

Then one day, when the old man put a stone into his hands, the boy cried out instinctively, ‘That’s not jade!'”

3/15–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

3/15/—The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be

Story:

In the washroom of his London club, British newspaper publisher and politician William Beverbrook happened to meet Edward Heath, then a young member of Parliament, about whom Beverbrook had printed an insulting editorial a few days earlier. “My dear chap,” said the publisher, embarrassed by the encounter. “I’ve been thinking it over, and I was wrong. Here and now, I wish to apologize.” “Very well,” grunted Heath. “But the next time, I wish you’d insult me in the washroom and apologize in your newspaper.”   

Today in the Word, October 1, 1993.

Scripture:

Matthew 5:23-24

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Humor:

The story is told that after sometime in the Garden, Eve grew restless and began to question Adam’s commitment to her.

She inquired, “Adam, do you still love me?”

Adam replied, “There’s no one else but you, honey.”

After thinking through the encounter, Adam inquired of God as to why He made Eve so beautiful.

God replied, “So you would love her.”

Adam continued, “And why did you make her so soft?”

God replied again, “So you would love her,”

Adam pressed on, “And why did you make her so loving?

Again God replied, “So you would love her.”

Finally Adam ventured, “And why did you make her so stupid, God?”

God replied, “So she would love you.” God has a way of humbling us when we need it most.

– Pastor Greg Laurie, Harvest Crusade, Anaheim, California, 1994

3/15– Can You Spare A Minute?

3/15–Remember the days that you prayed for the things you have now!

In November, 1975, 75 convicts started digging a secret tunnel designed to bring them up at the other side of the wall of Saltillo Prison in northern Mexico. 

On April 18, 1976, guided by pure genius, they tunneled up into the nearby courtroom in which many of them had been sentenced. The surprised judges returned all 75 to jail.

3/14–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

3/14–There is time enough but none  to spare!

Story:

During the 17th century, Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England, sentenced a soldier to be shot for his crimes. The execution was to take place at the ringing of the evening curfew bell. However, the bell did not sound. The soldier’s fiancé had climbed into the belfry and clung to the great clapper of the bell to prevent it from striking. 

When she was summoned by Cromwell to account for her actions, she wept as she showed him her bruised and bleeding hands. Cromwell’s heart was touched and he said, “Your lover shall live because of your sacrifice. Curfew shall not ring tonight!” 

Scripture:

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

3/14–Can You Spare A Minute?

3/14–Four boys made an excuse of how they’d had a flat tire that morning. Since class was nearly over, they asked if they could take a make-up test later. The in professor said, “I’ll do better than that. Just have a seat in the four corners of the classroom and I’ll prepare a special final exam just for you. I’ll make it so easy that you only have to answer one question.” The guys looked at each other in surprise and smiled. The professor continued as he passed out a piece of paper to each young man, “If all four of you answer this question correctly, you will all receive an A for the semester. However, if any one of you misses it, you’ll all fail.” The four guys were still grinning when he handed them their paper, but their smiles disappeared when they turned over the sheets. The single question on the final exam stared them in the face: “Which tire was flat?”

Illustration:  Arrogance has its own built-in misery.  The arrogant person may offend others, but he hurts himself more.  I was once stung by a honeybee.  The sting hurt me, but it hurt the bee more – the bee died as a result of that thrust, but I didn’t.
