The Mailman
One Monday morning a mailman is walking
the neighborhood on his usual route.
As he approaches one of the homes
he noticed that both cars were in the driveway.
His wonder was cut short by Bob,
the homeowner, coming out with a load of
empty beer and liquor bottles.
'Wow Bob, looks like you guys had one hell of a party last night.'
the mailman comments.
Bob in obvious pain replies,
'Actually we had it Saturday night.
This is the first I have felt like moving
since 4:00 am Sunday morning.
We had about fifteen couples from around the neighborhood over
for Christmas Cheer and it got a bit wild.
Hell, we got so drunk around midnight that we started playing
'WHO AM I'.'
The mailman thinks a moment and says,
'How do you play that?'
'Well all the guys go in the bedroom and
we come out one at a time with a sheet
covering us and only our 'privates' showing
through a hole in the sheet.
Then the women try to guess who it is.'
The mailman laughs and says,
'Damn, I'm sorry I missed that.'
'Probably a good thing you did,' Bob responds.
'Your name came up four or five times.'
If you would like to see it, request a friendship.
Sometime in our lives
someone has whispered into our ear
that we can be destroyed.
Our lives can be ruined
by an act
or a word
said or done in ignorance.
Someone has told us that we can never
get over what was done
or said
or seen.
But I have discovered that
all these things happen
in darkness
and that the things that hurt
us
cannot stand the light.
So if we stand in the light
the ugly things
that we carried all these years
go away
and we cannot see them anymore
and they cannot harm
us anymore.
It is the light that we need....
and it is the only thing that gets rid of darkness.
You know who brings the light to us.
He met you in the womb
and you thought it was a flashlight lighting the way out.
But it was His love
filling the womb with light
so you could see your way out.
We must not ever think
that anything that happens on this earth
is permanent
or that it can ruin our lives.
There is not one thing that can happen while we are here
that cannot be erased by the light.
I love you.
