WET PANTS

WET  
PANTS


Come with me  
to a third grade classroom..... There is a  
nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of  
a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and  
the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his  
heart is going to stop because he cannot  
possibly imagine how this has happened. It's  
never happened before, and he knows that when  
the boys find out he will never hear the end of  
it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak  
to him again as long as he  
lives.

The boy  
believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his  
head down and prays this prayer, 'Dear God, this  
is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes  
from now I'm dead  
meat.'

He looks up  
from his prayer and here comes the teacher with  
a look in her eyes that says he has been  
discovered.
As the  
teacher is walking toward him, a class mate  
named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is  
filled with water. Susie trips in front of the  
teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water  
in the boy's  
lap.

The boy  
pretends to be angry, but all the while is  
saying to himself, 'Thank you, Lord! Thank you,  
Lord!'

Now all of a  
sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule,  
the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher  
rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts  
to put on while his pants dry out. All the other  
children are on their hands and knees cleaning  
up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful.  
But as life would have it, the ridicule that  
should have been his has been transferred to  
someone else -  
Susie.
She tries to  
help, but they tell her to get out. You've done  
enough, you  
klutz!'

Finally, at  
the end of the day, as they are waiting for the  
bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers,  
'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie  
whispers back, 'I wet my pants once  
too.'
May God help  
us see the opportunities that are always around  
us to do  
good..


Remember.....Just going to  
church doesn't make you a Christian any more  
than standing in your garage makes you a  
car.
Each and  
everyone one of us is going through tough times  
right now, but God is getting ready to bless you  
in a way that only He can. Keep the  
faith.
