Three Bullets

[Guest guest]

There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an

old shotgun and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out

and kill. As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit and he shot at

the rabbit and missed it.

 

Then he saw squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it.

 

As he went further, he saw a wild turkey in the tree and he had only

one bullet, but a voice came to him and said, " Pray first, aim high

and stay focused. "

 

However, at the same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill. He

brought the gun down and aimed at the deer.

 

But, then he saw a rattlesnake between his legs about to bite him, so

he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattlesnake.

 

Still, the voice said again to him, " I said 'Pray, aim high and

stay focused. "

 

So, the man decided to listen to the voice. He prayed, then aimed

the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey.

 

The bullet bounced off the turkey and killed the deer. The handle

fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it. And,

when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond. When he

stood up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer

and a turkey to eat.

 

The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God.

 

Moral of the story: Pray first before you do anything, aim and

shoot high in your goals, and stay focused on God.

 

Never let others discourage you concerning your past. The past is

exactly that: " the past. "

 

Live every day one day at a time, and remember that only God knows

our future and that he will not put you through any more than you

can bear.

 

Do not look to man for your blessings, but look to the doors that

only He has prepared in advance for you in your favor. Wait, be

still and patient: keep God first and everything else will follow.

 

Pass this on in order that someone else might be blessed......FROM

ONE FRIEND TO ANOTHER.
