Lunch < was half an hour. < < Lunchtime < < was his prayer time, for finding strength and < power. < < < < "I stay only moments, see, because the factory is < so far away; as I kneel < < here talking to the Lord, this is kinda what I < say: < < < < "I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD, HOW HAPPY < I'VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND < < EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. < DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW < < TO < < PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. SO, JESUS, < THIS IS JIM CHECKING IN < < TODAY. < < < < The minister feeling foolish, told Jim, that was < fine. He told the man he < < was < < welcome to come and pray just anytime. < < < < Time to go, Jim smiled, said "Thanks." He hurried < to the door. The < < minister < < knelt at the altar, he'd never done it before. < < < < His cold heart melted, warmed with love, and met < with Jesus there. As the < < tears flowed, in his heart, he repeated old Jim's < prayer: < < < < "I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD, HOW HAPPY < I'VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND < < EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. < I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW < < TO < < PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. SO, JESUS, < THIS IS ME CHECKING IN < < TODAY." < < < < Past noon one day, the minister noticed that old < Jim hadn't come. As more < < days passed without Jim, he began to worry some. < < < < At the factory, he asked about him, learning he < was ill. The hospital < < staff < < was worried, but he'd given them a thrill. < < < < The week that Jim was with them, brought changes < in the ward. His smiles, < < a < < joy contagious. Changed people, were his reward. < < < < The head nurse couldn't understand why Jim was so < glad, when no flowers, < < calls or cards came, not a visitor he had. < < < < The minister stayed by his bed, he voiced the < nurse's concern: No friends < < came to show they cared. He had nowhere to turn. < < < < Looking surprised, old Jim spoke up and with a < winsome smile; "the nurse < < is < < wrong, she couldn't know, that in here all the < while everyday at noon He's < < < < here, a dear friend of mine, you see, He sits < right down, takes my hand, < < leans over and says to me: < < < < "I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM, HOW HAPPY I < HAVE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND < < < < THIS FRIENDSHIP, AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN. ALWAYS < LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY, I < < < < THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY, AND SO JIM, THIS IS < JESUS CHECKING IN TODAY." < < < < If this blesses you, pass it on... Many people < will walk in and out of < < your < < life, but only true friends will leave footprints < in your heart. < < < < May God hold you in the palm of His hand and < Angels watch over you. < < < < ~Author Unknown~ < < < < Please pass this page on to your friends or loved < ones. < < < < < < If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow < the directions. Jesus < < said, " < < if you are ashamed of me," I will be ashamed of < you before my Father." If < < you < < are not ashamed Pass this on . . .only if you < mean it. Yes, I do love God. < < He < < is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me < functioning each and < < everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without < him, I am nothing but < < with < < Him " I can do all things through Christ that < strengthens me." Phil 4:13 < < This < < is the simplest test . . . if you Love God, and < are not ashamed of all the < < < < marvelous things he has done for you. < < < < < _________________________________________________________________ < Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com < < <
