A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a
newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every
Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in
that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons.
But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them.
So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by
giving sermons at all."
This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor"
column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks
until someone wrote this clincher: "I've been married for 30 years
now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the
life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those
meals. But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the
strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals,
I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to
church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"
When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees
the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!
Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!

you get that for me?
