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 appeared a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants is 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, and 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 classmate 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 helping others.

Remember, going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than
standing in your garage makes you a car.
Find those opportunities...you WILL make a difference in someone's life.
