Jesus told stories to illustrate his message.  May the stories you find here bless you and touch your hearts.

Matthew 13:34-35  Jesus used stories when he spoke to the people. In fact, he did not tell them anything without using stories.   So God's promise came true, just as the prophet had said, "I will use stories to speak my message and to explain things that have been hidden since the creation of the world."

 Uncle Jim was my favorite Uncle. When we were children and would visit him each summer, he would reach in his pocket and give the three of us children each a dime. Isn’t that enough to cause me to call him my favorite Uncle. None of my other relatives gave me that much attention. Except my Grandmother - - she would give me a piece of white bread with real butter on it, and that was a treat, because we always had wheat bread at home with margarine for a spread. Those memories do last and bring loving memories.

Your stories truly inspire me! Good work all !!

Today I used some pet clippers that I purchased from WalMart, and gave Luke my long haired black lab, a grooming hair cut.   Luke loved it.  Buck, My short haired black lab, whined and wanted the clippers down his back also. Buck’s hair is so short it was just a back rub for him, but both dogs enjoyed the combing afterwards.
