Introduction

In this life, everyone has a choice to make about being a friend to God or to be his foe.

We can serve God or we can serve the devil. We all know we live in a world of trials and temptations. We also know we can over come and with stand the devil and his ways.

Everyday we will encounter the devil nipping at our heels. We as strong Christians need to take a stand and refuse to be destroyed by the entanglement of his snares.

We may falter at times being imperfect human beings but, with faith and endurance we can come from our bended knees and stand strong by fixing our eyes on Jesus. Jesus is there for all of us in good times and in difficult times.

You will read a host of Inspirational Stories, written in creativity, that will arouse your curiosity, will educate, encourage, and will touch your heart and soul in a most meaningful way.

We have been created and designed for the purpose of connecting with God and to SERVE Him with our hands, voice, and feet.

We are here to touch the lonely, serve the poor, and help the sick.

We are here to Evangelize- spread the word of Jesus, to up-lift and be compassionate to others.

We are to live as an example of Jesus and to lead the way, step by step and to light the path for others.

Stories Spark Our Emotions

Dedicated in Honor

(To: The Herald-Journal of Winsted, MN)

(Publishing Company)

People of all ages in life, enjoy telling or writing stories and there’s a variety of ways in which we have all found to do that for others.

Stories can inspire you, some can touch your soul, some can make you smile, giggle, or perhaps bring on a hardy laugh.

There are stories that, when told, can shift your mind-set, open your heart, hold your family closer and your friends a little tighter.

Some stories can open your thinking to new possibilities. Some can stimulate your desire and create a brighter tomorrow. Then there are stories that find you searching for a solution.

Some stories may even display a little darkness, bring tears to your eyes, or an ache to your heart.

We, at times, may even think of ourselves as being artists. Each of us paints a different picture every day on our own individual canvas, from morning to sundown, in hopes that it will be filled with hope and cheerfulness. We then flip the page over and start a new picture for the next day.

We all need to learn that our life experiences, if written or told before others, can teach many valuable lessons to mankind. Jesus was our perfect example and role model. He went out into the world and told stories.

Amazingly, all these stories were compiled and put into book form.

Interesting to find, not one of these stories was written in the context of once upon a time.

This storybook was, and still is today, called the Bible.

The Bible in today’s world means something different to most everyone, but to a Christian, it’s our roots, spiritual nourishment, guidance, and source of daily living.

It guides and directs people, it strengthens and upholds. It brings an out-pouring of faith and joy to mankind.

It’s a sharp tool for obedience, yet Jesus’ arms are wrapped around each and every human being that he created.

None of us will ever live a life eliminating struggles, trials or temptations.

Nor do any of us live carefree, perfect lives.

In others words, how we climb up the mountain is just as important as how we get down the mountain.

For many of us life becomes one gigantic test followed by one gigantic lesson.

It’s how we accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, as well as darkness and the light.
