A very very Good Story!!!

Great Story

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the

Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and

hand out Gospel Tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and

his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside,

as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and

driest clothes and said; "OK dad, I'm ready." His Pastor dad asked,

"Ready for what?" "Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and

go out." Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring

down rain." The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking "But Dad,

aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?" Dad

answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather." Despondently, the

boy ask, "Dad, can I go? Please?" His father hesitated for a moment

then said, "Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son." "Thanks Dad!"

And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old

boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing

everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract. After two hours of

walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his

VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand

a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted. Then he turned toward

the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and

rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered.

He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but

still no answer. Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave,

but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell

and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding

him there on the front porch. He rang again and this time the door slowly

opened. Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady.

She softly asked "What can I do for you son?" With radiant eyes and a

smile that lit up her world, this little boy said: "Ma'am, I'm sorry if I

disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE

YOU* and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell

you all about JESUS and His great LOVE." With that, he handed her his last

tract and turned to leave. She called to him as he departed. "Thank

you, son! And God Bless You!" Well, the following Sunday morning in

church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked,

"Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?" Slowly, in the

back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began

to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, "No one in

this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last

Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago,

leaving me totally alone in this world.

Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even

more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer

had any hope or will to live. So I took a rope and a chair and ascended

the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a

rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other

end of the rope around my neck.. Standing on that chair, so lonely and

brokenhearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing

of my doorbell downstairs startled me.

I thought, "I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away." I

waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and

more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking

loudly. I thought to myself again, "Who on earth could this be? Nobody

ever rings my bell or comes to see me." I loosened the rope from my neck

and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for

there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I

had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to

you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long

been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice,

"Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU."

Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand. As the

little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my

door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract.

Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be

needing them any more. You see- "I am now a Happy Child of the KING.

Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract; I

have come here to personally say THANK YOU TO God's little angel who

came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from eternity in hell."

There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor

to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building. Pastor Dad

Descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was

seated. He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.

Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this

universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor

for his son... Except for One.

This Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world.

He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven

Shouted praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on

a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is

named. Blessed are your eyes for reading this message. Don't let this

message die, read it again and pass it to others.

We will meet in heaven!
