HEAVEN AND HELL

DEAR FAMILY, THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE STORIES, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. A MAN ASKED GOD TO SHOW HIM WHAT HEAVEN AND HELL WERE. GOD TOOK THE MAN TO A ROOM, IN THAT ROOM WAS A TREMENDOUS ROUND TABLE, AND IN THE CENTER OF THE TABLE WAS A HUGE POT OF DELICIOUS STEW. SITTING AROUND THE TABLE, WERE MANY, MANY PEOPLE, AND ALL OF THEM HAD LONG SPOONS ATTACHED TO THEIR WRISTS. LONG ENOUGH TO REACH INTO THE POT OF STEW AND SCOOP UP SOME, BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INTO THEIR MOUTHS, THE SPOONS WERE JUST TOO LONG. THERE WAS SCREAMING AND CRYING AND PAIN AND SO MUCH SUFFERING. THE MAN ASKED GOD,"WHAT IS THIS PLACE?' AND GOD SAID,"THIS IS HELL." THE MAN COULD NOT BEAR TO WITNESS THE SUFFERING ANY LONGER, SO HE ASKED GOD TO PLEASE SHOW HIM HEAVEN. GOD TOOK THE MAN TO A ROOM, IN THAT ROOM WAS A TREMENDOUS ROUND TABLE, AND IN THE CENTER OF THAT TABLE WAS A HUGE POT OF DELICIOUS STEW. SITTING AROUND THE TABLE WERE MANY, MANY PEOPLE, AND ALL OF THEM HAD LONG SPOONS ATTACHED TO THEIR WRISTS. LONG ENOUGH TO REACH INTO THE POT OF STEW AND SCOOP UP SOME, BUT, IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INTO THEIR MOUTHS, THE SPOONS WERE JUST TOO LONG. BUT, THERE WAS NO SCREAMING, NO CRYING, NO PAIN AND NO SUFFERING.THERE WAS LAUGHTER AND JOY, AND HAPPINESS AND LOVE IN THE ROOM. BECAUSE THEY WERE FEEDING EACH OTHER. ALL MY LOVE, CARMELLA

Hi Carmella. I had read this before, but I'm so glad you shared it. It truly reminds us to "feed His sheep." God bless. Peg

DEAREST PEG, IT'S A LOVELY DAY WHEN WE CAN ENJOY THE POSITIVES IN OUR LIVES. THIS LITTLE STORY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A POSITIVE REMINDER TO US TOO. LOVE, CARMELLA

Carmella, Thanks for this beautiful message. Heaven is going to be so beautiful and I can't wait. I start each morning with positive thoughts and this one sure helped. God Bless. Susy

DEAREST SUSY, I CAN'T WAIT EITHER! I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE WORDS,"EYES HAVE NOT SEEN, AND EARS HAVE NOT HEARD..." WHAT JESUS HAS WAITING FOR US IN PARADISE. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, LOVE, CARMELLA

Carmella! I love this!! I have never read it before, but I am sure to save it! God bless you and have a great Tuesday. Randall

Carmella, what a great reminder. We need to love one another, lift each other up. But most of all we need to love the people who do not know the Lord. May he bring those people into our lives today, and may they see the Love of God through us. Praising him Geri
