<><> What If God Was Just Like Us <><>

 

What if God was just like us?
He'd be someone we could not trust.
The death of Christ would be a lie;
a hoax, a sham, He did not die.
There'd be no Blood to cover sins,
no cleansing of the beast within.

What if God was just like us?
Down payments and interest would be a must.
Finance charges, dues and fees;
we could not pay enough to please.
With every err there'd be a fine,
perpetual sighing on the dotted line.

What if God was just like us;
just like man, He made from dust?
Peace with Him, what is His price?
All that we have, compounded twice.
Justification at too high a cost;
no one could pay, we'd all be lost.

<><> Stuff <><>

 

Every fall I start stirring in my stuff. 
There is closet stuff,attic stuff,and
basement stuff.  I separate 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 will need the bad stuff.

 

When the Lord calls me home,my children
will want the good stuff, but 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 stuff has been taken.

 

When ever we have company they always
 brings bags and bags of stuff.  When
I visit my son, he always moves his stuff so
I will have room for my stuff.  My daughter-in-law
always clears a drawer of her stuff so I will
have room for my stuff.  Their stuff and my stuff....
it would be so much easier to use their stuff and
 leave my stuff at home, with the rest of my
stuff.

 

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 all my good stuff.

 

You may not have this problem, but I seem to
spend a lot of time with stuff...food stuff,
cleaning stuff, medicine stuff, clothes stuff 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 than we do.There is the stuff to
 make our hair look good, stuff to make us look
younger, stuff to make us look healthier.  Stuff
to hold us in and stuff to fill us out.  There is
stuff to read, stuff to play with and stuff to
entertain us and stuff to eat.  We stuff
ourselves with the food stuff.

 

Well, our lives are filled with stuff....good
stuff, bad stuff, big stuff, useful stuff,
junky stuff and everyone's stuff.  Now
when we leave 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.

 

IT'S TIME TO CLEAN OUR "STUFF"
FROM OUR CLOSETS!!!!
