One day the big animals and the little animals decided to have a
football game. As the first half went along, the big animals were
scoring at will. Every time they got the ball they would run it in for
a touchdown.Ê
Then came the second half...
First play: The elephant runs the ball up the middle. WAP!! Tackled
for a five yard loss. The little animals go back to the huddle
cheering and congratulating each other. "Who made that tackle?"
asked the ant. "I did," said the centipede.
Second play: The rhinoceros runs the ball up the middle. WHOMP!!
Tackled for another five yard loss. Back in the huddle the flea asked,
"Who made that great stop?" "I did," said the centipede.Ê
Third play: The gorilla tries an end sweep, led by the hippo throwing
the lead blocks. SMACK!! Centipede tackles him for a ten yard loss.
Back in the huddle, the gnat asked the centipede, "Where were yo
u in
the first half?" The centipede replied, "Puttin' on my shoes!"

Today's Truth: "STUFF!"
Every fall I start stirring in my stuff. There is closet ,drawer.attic and
basement stuff. I seperate the good stuff from the bad stuff, then I stuff
the bad stuff anywhere the stuff is not too crowded until I decide if I need
the bad stuff.
When the Lord calls me home, my children will want the good stuff, bu the bad
stuff, stuffed wherever there is room among all the other stuff, will be
stuffed in bags and taken to the dump where all the other people's stuff has
been taken.
This fall I had an extra closet built so I would have a place for all the
stuff too good to throw away and too bad to keep with my good stuff. You may
not have this problem, but I seem to spend a lot of time with
stuff......food, cleaning, medicine, clothes and outside stuff. Whatever
would life be like if we didn't have all this stuff?
Now there is all that stuff we use to make us smell better, stuff to make our
hair look good. Stuff to make us look younger....healthier, stuff to hold us
in, and stuff to fill us out! There is stuff to read, play with, entertain
us, and stuff to eat. We stuff ourselves with food stuff.
Well, our lives are filled with stuff...good stuff, bad stuff, little stuff,
big stuff useful stuff, junky stuff, and everyone's stuff.
Now when we leave all our stuff and go to heaven, whatever happens to our
stuff won't matter. We will still have the good stuff God has prepared for
us in heaven!!!!
