Chihuahua and the Lion

A lady takes her pet chihuahua with her on a safari holiday. Wandering too far one day the chihuahua gets lost in the bush, and soon encounters a very hungry looking lion.

The chihuahua realizes he’s in trouble, but, noticing some fresh bones on the ground, he settles down to chew on them, with his back to the big cat. As the lion is about to leap, the chihuahua smacks his lips and exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious lion. I wonder if there are any more around here.”

The lion stops mid-stride, and slinks away into the trees.
“Phew,” says the lion, “that was close – that evil little creature nearly had me.”

A monkey nearby sees everything and thinks he’ll win a favor by putting the stupid lion straight. When the lion hears the monkey’s story he feels angry at being made a fool, and offers the monkey a ride back to see him exact his revenge.

The little dog sees them approaching and fears the worse.

Thinking quickly, the little dog turns his back, pretends not to notice them, and when the pair are within earshot says aloud, “Now where’s that monkey gone? I sent him ages ago to bring me another lion….”

No Exit

A person checks into a hotel for the first time in his life, and goes up to his room.

Five minutes later he calls the reception desk and says: “You’ve given me a room with no exit. How do I leave?”

The desk clerk says, “Sir, that’s absurd. Have you looked for the door?”

The person says, ” Well, there’s one door that leads to the bathroom. There’s a second door that goes into the closet. And there’s a door I haven’t tried, but it has a ‘do not disturb’ sign on it.”

Many times in life, we mistakenly believe there’s no way out. But with God, nothing is impossible.

Cleaning Elevators

A new hotel employee was asked to clean the elevators and report back to the supervisor when the task was completed. When the employee failed to appear at the end of the day the supervisor assumed that like many others he had simply not liked the job and left. However, after four days the supervisor bumped into the new employee. He was cleaning in one of the elevators. “You surely haven’t been cleaning these elevators for four days, have you?” asked the supervisor, accusingly. “Yes sir,” said the employee, “This is a big job and I’ve not finished yet – do you realise there are over forty of them, two on each floor, and sometimes they are not even there….”

Father’s Day Humor

I figured out why they call our language the “Mother Tongue.” Fathers never get a chance to use much of it.

Say what you will about healthy eating and all, but I’ve always found it awfully difficult to explain to my son (who’s 6’4″ to my 6′ in height), why junk food is bad for you.

One time my kids wanted to surprise me with a good breakfast in bed on Father’s Day. They put a cot in the kitchen.

If you think about it, Adam had more trouble than any of the rest of us buying his Father a gift for Father’s Day. I mean, what do you get somebody who’s Everything?

I started early teaching my kids the value of a dollar. From then on, they demanded their allowances in gold.

Lightening Bolts

A mother noticed that it was about time for school to dismiss and since it looked like it would rain, she drove toward the school to pick up her eight year old daughter.

She turned down the street to see her daughter running towards her down the sidewalk. A lightning bolt flashed and the little girl looked up towards the sky, smiled, and then began running towards her mother’s car.

Another lightning bolt flashed and again the little girl looked towards the sky, smiled and resumed running. This happened several more times until the little girl finally arrived at where her mother was parked.

Her mom immediately inquired as to the strange behavior. “Why did you keep stopping and smiling at the sky,” she asked her daughter.

“I had to, mommy. God was taking my picture.”

Mother’s White Hair

One day, a girl walk to her mother and look at her mother’s hair and sadly said: “Why are some of your hair white mom?”

The mother replied, “Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.

The girl thought about this revelation a while, and then said, “Momma, how come *all* of grandma’s hairs are white?”

Top Excuses for Not Praying in the Morning

10. I got twisted up in my sheets and couldn’t escape.
9. I didn’t have time after reading Psalms for my devotional
8. I was planning my next vacation on the maps in the back of my Bible.
7. I already had a “quiet” time for the past 8 hours.
6. I didn’t have time after my 10K morning jog and left my knee pads at the rugby field!
5. My pillow had me in a head hold and I couldn’t escape!
4. The TV was blaring late into the night so I couldn’t sleep!
3. Alright.. Whose the prankster who put super glue on my pillow?
2. Quiet time? In my house it is NEVER quiet!

1. James 1 says “the prayers of a righteous man accomplish much.” That leaves me out!

Do you ever feel you have to be spiritual to pray? To have your confessions all up to date? To be a holy and righteous man to have your prayers answered?

Truth is, God delights in the prayers of his people. Prayer is the best means to draw near God. Prayer is the time to catch up on your confessions and to intercede for others. And when we draw near to God we will know his heart and our prayers will be in agreement with his will.. When that happens we will see great answers in prayer! So instead of making excuses, let’s pray and expect great things!
