TODAY’S SMILE
Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night. The waiter comes and takes their drink order. "I would like a Sprite," said the first little piggy. "I would like a Coke," said the second little piggy. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.
The drinks are brought out and the waiter takes their orders for dinner. "I want a nice big steak," said the first piggy. "I would like the salad plate," said the second piggy. "I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.
The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert. "I want a banana split," said the first piggy. "I want a root beer float," said the second piggy. "I want water, lots and lots of water," exclaimed the third little piggy.
"Pardon me for asking," said the waiter! to the third little piggy, "but why have you only ordered water all evening?"
You're gonna LOVE me for this....
Hold on to your seat .
At the risk of never receiving e-mail ever again........
The third piggy says -
"Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!"
The Happy Little Train
Author Unknown
Once upon a time there was a happy little train. He had such a good time as he raced down the tracks. He blew his whistle at all his friends along the way.
His friend the horse galloped alongside to the end of the pasture. His friend the duck soared over his steaming smokestack.
But one day the happy train stopped being happy. He began to envy his friends. The horse could go anywhere he wanted in his pasture and the duck could fly through the sky. "But all I ever get to do is stay on the tracks!" grumbled the not-so-happy little train.
"How can I get off my tracks?" wondered the little train. "Maybe if I go really fast at the curve. Then I'll be off the tracks and as free as my friend the horse!"
So the next day the little train began to pick up speed miles before the curve. His friends were astonished at how fast the little train steamed by. They watched with amazement as the little train reached the curve at full speed and jumped free of the tracks. "I'm free" thought the little train as he plowed into the field next to the tracks.
But before he could blow his whistle he was stuck. He churned his wheels. He tried to go backwards. But he didn't move an inch. "I'm not free!" he cried. "I'm stuck!"
His friend the horse came over to the little train. "You silly train, what were you thinking?" asked the horse. "I wanted to be free like you," said the train. "But I discovered that the only way to be free is to stay on the tracks!"
"Of course," said the horse. "Absolutely," said the duck. "We're only free when we play by the rules."
Most of us are just like the little train. We get the idea that happiness comes when we can do whatever we want. But just like the train, when we ignore the rules we get stuck.
May God richly bless you as you strive to stay on the track. May God give you the strength to stand up to the temptations to leave the track. And may God grant you the wisdom to learn from your past mistakes and continually grow in your knowledge of Him.
Remember, "He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it..." (Phil. 1:6)

TODAY’S REFLECTION
They asked each other, 'Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?
Luke 24:32
There are times when we find ourselves dealing with the everyday dullness of life. That is the time we must keep God's Spirit burning in our souls
God's power gives us strength to deal with the mundane things in life that douse the flames of joy
