NEW York. Telephone rings.
Daughter: "Hello Momma. Terrible. Snowed in. Car wouldn't start. Both kids have measles. Am going down with cold. Freezer broken, food spoiled. House a mess. Twenty ladies coming to lunch."
Momma: "Don't worry. I'll pick up food at supermarket. Go
to subway. Get train. Get bus. Walk 14 blocks to your house."
(I will do this, I will do that. What are mothers for?)
"If it's snowing and car wouldn't start, how did Sam get to work?"
Daughter: "Sam? My husband's name is Paul."
Ouch, she's dialled a wrong number. "Does that mean you're not coming?"
The above is a great example of Jewish humour.
If you need help you've got to get to the right person.
Apostle Peter: "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out."
Jesus: "Do not worry about your life … Come to me, all you are weary and burdened and I will give you rest … Whoever comes to me I will never drive away … My Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life."
Jesus is always available. There will be no engaged or wrong number.
Maybe you should speak to him today.
