Imagine your father invited 200 children and adults to your birthday party. He sent a limousine to pick them up, but they would not come. They tore up the car and beat up the driver. So your father sent a bus to the nearest children's home and homeless shelter. The bus took everyone to the party. Each person had a great time. How we act on earth gets us ready to go to God's party in heaven.
Prayer
Holy Spirit, help me to be ready for the big party in heaven.
Something to Draw
Draw everyone having a fun eating and playing at your birthday party.
Mission for the Week
Every day I will say, "Here I am, Lord. How may I help you?"

LIHTER SIDE
The Peace and Love of God After a very long and boring homily the parishioners filed out of the church saying nothing to the pastor. Towards the end of the line was a thoughtful person who always commented on the homilies. “Father, today your homily reminded me of the peace and love of God!” The pastor was thrilled. “No one has ever said anything like that about my preaching before. Why did it remind you?” “Well, it reminded me of the peace of God because it surpassed all understanding, and the love of God because it endured forever!” Gift Cards for Jesus At the Christmas Eve service, the pastor, quizzing some children about the nativity, asked, “What gifts did the three wise men give the Christ child?” “Gold!” one child yelled. “Frankincense!” shouted another. After a pause, a third asked, “Gift cards?” The Right Answer During his children’s sermon, the assistant pastor asked the kids, "What is gray, has a bushy tail, and gathers nuts in the fall?" One five-year-old raised his hand, "I know the answer should be Jesus," he began, "but it sounds like a squirrel to me." ©LPi |
