THE OLD CHAMBER POT




An old chamber pot

  +Found this story:

Two nuns were driving through the countryside when they ran out of gas.  They walked to a nearby farmhouse for help and the kindly farmer said that they could siphon some of the gas from his tractor.
However, they could not find anything in which to carry the gas, until the farmer produced a battered old chamber pot.

Now, for those of you young people that have never seen or heard of a chamber pot, and don’t know what one is, it’s an antique bed pan.  And for those who STILL don’t understand what a chamber pot is, it is something like a port-a-potty.

The nuns filled the pot with gas, walked back to the car, and began pouring it in.

A passing motorist, hardly believing what he saw, stopped and said, “I don’t agree with your religion, but I admire your faith!”

Faith in God makes great optimists. Over in Burma, Judson was lying in a foul jail with 32 lbs. of chains on his ankles, his feet bound to a bamboo pole. A fellow prisoner said, "Dr. Judson, what about the prospect of the conversion of the heathen?", with a sneer on his face. His instant reply was, "The prospects are just as bright as the promises of God."

The African impala can jump to a height of over 10 feet and cover a distance of greater than 30 feet. Yet these magnificent creatures can be kept in an enclosure in any zoo with a 3-foot wall. The animals will not jump if they cannot see where their feet will fall. Faith is the ability to trust what we cannot see, and with faith we are freed from the flimsy enclosures of life that only fear allows to entrap us. -John Emmons.

Faith in God can launch you from where you are to where you desire to be.  God has no limits.  He's waiting for man to fully believe in His ability.  There is greatness in you.  Keep believing.

To others it may appear you are only carrying a chamber pot in your hands - but they don't know what is inside.
