HAPPINESS '
Tich Nath Hanh.
A priest was walking to church, around noon. Going from there he decided to stay close to see who had come to pray.
At that moment the door opened, the priest raised his eyebrow on seeing a man approaching. The man had a beard of several days, he wore a shirt worn, had a jacket
old whose edges had began to unravel. The man knelt down, bowed his head, then got up and left.
In the days following the same man, always at noon, returning to church in a suitcase ... kneeling briefly and then went out.
The priest, a bit 'scared, began to suspect that it was a thief. Then one day he stood before the door of the church and when the man was leaving the church asked him
- "What are you doing here?"
The man said he worked in the area and had half an hour free for lunch and take this moment to pray.
- "I stay only a moment, you know, because the factory is a bit 'far away. Then I kneel down and say-Lord, I came back to tell you what you made me happy when I've saved from my sins
... I can not pray very well, but I think of you every day ... Well ... Jesus is here -Jim relationship "
The father felt stupid. He told Jim that was fine, which was welcome in the church when he wanted. The priest knelt before the altar, he felt his heart filled with great heat, Love and
met Jesus while the tears flowed down her cheeks, in his heart he repeated the prayer of Jim:
"I just came to tell you, LORD, AS I AM HAPPY TO BE WHEN YOU HAVE MET THROUGH MY LIKE YOU AND I saved from my sins ... I DO NOT KNOW VERY WELL HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK TO YOU ALL DAY ... WELL JESUS \u200b\u200b'RELATIONSHIP TO ... HERE I AM! "
a given day, the priest noticed that old Jim had not come. The days passed and Jim did not come to pray.
The father began to worry about and one day he went to the factory to ask him. They told him that Jim was ill and that doctors were very concerned for his health, but who believed that he could do it.
In the week when Jim was in the hospital brought many changes: he was always smiling and his joy was contagious.
The head nurse could not understand why Jim was so happy because he had never received any flowers or greeting cards, or visits.
The priest approached the bed with Jim and the nurse said this while listening to Jim:
- "No friends came to visit him. Has no one. "
Surprised the old Jim said, smiling
-" The nurse is wrong ... But you may not know that every day, since I came here, at noon, my beloved friend is, he sits on the pound, takes my hand, leans over to me and says,
- "I just came to tell you, Jim, as I was happy since I found the your friendship and I freed from your sins. I really enjoyed listening to your prayers. I think of you every day ... Well ... Here
Jim's relationship with Jesus! "
From today, every day, we can not miss the opportunity to say to Jesus:
-" I'm here to report "
's strange how we send jokes and phrases through the mail ... which is expand as voracious fire. But when we send spiritual messages, we think twice before
share them with others.
is strange how the lust crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, while speaking publicly about Jesus be avoided in schools and the workplace.
is curious, right?
is strange even if, when you're finished reading this message, send it to people in your address book post because you are not sure what they think. Of what you think.
is curious, I care more about what people think of me of what God would think of me?
"Words can travel thousands of miles. May my words create mutual understanding and love. May be shining like gems, beautiful as flowers. "
