THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE







“Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost." (Isaiah 55:1, NASB95)

On a hot fall day our high school marching band took part in the Apple Festival in Chilhowie, Virginia. We marched in a parade then waited around for our time to compete in the field competition. After that parade I was hot and thirsty. I went to a vendor who had cans of soft drinks. This is where I saw my first Mr. Pibb. It was good and cold but did not quench my thirst. Then I saw a vendor who had bottles of ice cold apple cider. I bought one of these and that hit the spot.

We are created with a thirst but most don't know what will quench that spiritual thirst. We may try different things but they don't quench it completely. Then we go on to something else which we think might fill that hole in us. But Jesus Christ is the only one that can really quench our spiritual thirst.

There is a cost to what quenches our thirst. But that cost is not ours. We can quench our spiritual thirst for free. But to quench this thirst it cost Jesus Christ His life. He gave His life so we could be filled without cost.

Let us all partake of Jesus Christ to quench our thirst. And let us share Him with others so they may know what will truly quench their thirst.

Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you for giving Your life for us. Thank You for offering Yourself to quench our thirst. Help us to continually drink from Your supply. Help us to let others know that You are the only One who can quench their thirst. Amen.

THE RESTUARANT BOUNCERAND THEIR COSTUMER




There were two buddies, one with a Doberman Pinscher and the other with a Chihuahua . The guy with the Doberman Pinscher says to his friend, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to eat." The guy with the Chihuahua says, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us." The buddy with the Doberman Pinscher says, "Just follow my lead." They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman Pinscher puts on a pair of dark glasses and he starts to walk in. The bouncer at the door says, "Sorry, mac, no pets allowed." The man with the Doberman Pinscher says,
" You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye- dog." The bouncer says, "A Doberman Pinscher?" He answers, "Yes, they're using them now; they're very good and protect me from robbers, too." The man at the door says, "Come on in." The buddy with the Chihuahua figures, "What the heck," so he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in. Once again the bouncer says, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed." The guy with the Chihuahua says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." The bouncer at the door says, "A Chihuahua?" The man with the Chihuahua says, "A Chihuahua?????? They gave me a Chihuahua?!"

THE POLICE OFFICER;S JOKE JUST LUAGH


“Pull over the curb,” said the policeman.

“ You don’t have a taillight.
” The motorist stepped out, looked in back of the car, and stood quivering and speechless.
“ Oh, it’s not that bad,” said the policeman.
The man mumbled,
“It’s not the taillight I am worried about. Where are my wife and trailer?
