The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to
express praise for answered prayers. Suzie Smith stood and walked to
the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband,
Tom, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The
pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help
him." You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation
as they imagine the pain that poor Tom must have experienced. "Tom
was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and
every move caused him terrible pain."
We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned
out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom's
scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place." Again, the
men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they
imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom... "Now," she
announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Tom is out of the
hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover
completely." All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose
and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.
A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.
He said, "I'm Tom Smith." The entire congregation held its
breath. ".... I just want to tell my wife the word is sternum."
...........lol!!!
We give little when we give of our possessions. It is when we give of ourselves that we can truly touch another person??™s life. [Anonymous]
