Christmas Stuff
Christmas Generous Saint
There is a character who will give presents to his children. Every Christmas he always gives something special so that he can see us laugh. Every night, he travels along the land breeze so that he may not be bored. All his generosity and wisdom was given to us. Was his tiredness awakens us through being a good example to all? Selfishness was really to quite indeed not neither to do it in action nor to do it in possibility not in negativity that all people not might share.
Along the Christmas Eve, he travels along the roofs of our homes and rest in the sofa where he made his presents for us. He is a saint, a saint who gives his blast-off thoughtfulness and wisdom to us. He is a brother who will awake us through our selfishness and discourage in just
one's opinions and matter. He gives us a little Popsicle of cold ice cream even he is hungry, he gave it to us to make us cold. He gave us opportunity to live so that we may learn values and we may teach the others the right manners that he is showing during the birth of Jesus Christ. He is the one who said 'It's better to give than to receive.' He just wants us to be an example, example to all humankind the art of his heart that decorated with simplicity and coolness. There is a saint who can teach us his right manner, whose ability is to teach God's word and the right manners through our fellow humankind. There is a saint who really shows his sainthood and this saint is ---------- 'Saint Clause.'

Put Your Trust in the Lord
Here is yet another one of the many stories I've read, this one is meant for comedic purposes:
A newly ordained priest was having a conversation with his bishop,
Bishop: I want you to deliver the sermon this Sunday at my church.
Priest: But bishop, Sunday is tomorrow, I've yet to prepare!
Bishop: Come now, my son! Put your trust in the lord.
That night the priest was flipping through the pages of the Bishop's bible for inspiration. He spotted a piece of paper that was handwritten by the bishop. It contained a sermon. The priest read it, he liked it so he decided to use it as the morning sermon. The next day, the sermon was a success, the audience liked and thought of it as an excellent lecture, packed with wisdom beyond his years. The bishop shot through the crowd, panicked, and spoke with the priest,
Bishop: What shall I do!?
Priest: What's the matter bishop?
Bishop: You have given the sermon I had planned to give this afternoon! NOW what shall I tell them!?
Priest: ...
Bishop: Speak, boy! What shall I do? Tell me!
Priest: Put your trust in the Lord, bishop! Just trust the Lord.

Dead Horses on the Road
I present to all of you yet another story:
Seven soldiers were given official leave for a day. They were to report back by noon the next day. They didn't arrive on time. The first one arrived an hour late, his excuse: He first had a date but soon lost track of time and missed the last bus so he took a cab but the cab broke down so he bought a horse at the nearest farm, but the horse died and he had to walk the rest of the way. The C.O. (Commanding Officer) excused him and gave him a light sermon about punctuality. Five more came 30 minutes later with the same excuses: Had a date, lost track of time, missed the last bus, took a cab, cab broke down, bought a horse, horse died, alk the rest of the way. By the time they finished the C.O. was steaming, and gave them a longer sermon. The last soldier arrived 1 hour late. As for his excuse... it's probably better if you read the conversation yourself,
Soldier 7: I'm reeeeaaaally sorry sir! I had a date, lost track of time, missed the last bus, took a cab...
C.O.: Wait! Let me guess, the cab broke down, so you bought a horse at the nearest farm but it died on the way so you had to walk all the way here, right?
Soldier 7: Um, no sir but, the cab couldn't continue the rest of the journey, there were to many dead horses on the road.
