Posted on SC Coonhunter's Christian Thread by David McKee~He won't mind me sharing.
WARNING! Read with tissue available..................

Two Choices

What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line,
there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the
same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning
disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that
would never be forgotten by all who attended.

After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a
question:

'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection.
Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do.
He cannot understand things as other children do.
Where is the natural order of things in my son?'
The audience was stilled by the query.
The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'

Then he told the following story:

Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.

Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?'

I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play.

The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning.

I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt.

I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart.

The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.

In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.

Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact.

The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.

The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly
towards Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over.

The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.

Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates.

Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first!

Run to first!'

Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first
base.

He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'

Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base.

By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball ... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team.

He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.

Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third!

Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'

Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

AND NOW A LITTLE FOOT NOTE TO THIS STORY:

We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate.

The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.


We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.'

So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice:

Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.
Count your Blessings every day.

WOW, IT GOT RIGHT DOWN COLD LAST NIGHT. I HAVE WOKE UP TO THE SIMPLE WONDER OF HEAVY FROST SHINING AS IF IT WERE A HANDMADE PIECE OF CRYSTAL. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE LORD'S BLESSINGS. THE SUN SHINING ABOVE WILL SOON TRANSFORM THIS CRYSTAL OF ICE INTO A SIMPLE DROPS OF WATER WAITING TO BE SOAKED UP INTO THE GROUND TO NOURISH THE PLANTS THROUGH THE WINTER. ANOTHER DISPLAY OF THE CONTINUAL CIRCLE OF LIFE. I AM JUST GLAD THAT I HAVE A GROUP OF BELIEVERS TO SHARE THIS WITH THAT WILL UNDERSTAND IT IS ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF GOD AND HIS MANY WONDERS. GOD BLESS EVERYONE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

BROTHER IN CHRIST,

GOD'S SPIRIT WAS RUNNING FULL STRENGTH BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE COMPETING AGAINST ON ANOTHER THEY WERE ALL ON THE SAME SIDE (GOD'S TEAM) AND IF THOSE BALL PLAYERS COULD PUT ASIDE THEIR DIFFERANCES OVER WINNING OR LOSING THE GAME THEN THERES NO REASON FOR US GROWNUPS TO DO THE SAME OVER ANYTHING THAT COMES BETWEEN US..

GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF US!!

THE WORD IS GOD SO HELP SPREAD THE GOOD WORD EVERY CHANCE YA GET.. Loren

God gave us the gift of His Love for us to lean on during times of need.

I pray sometimes when I need guidance that He will lead me and I DO not lead MYSELF. Those are the "cross roads" in life I think we all experience.

I pray that each of you find the correct path in which your lives will be in line with God.
Sometimes selfishness plays a part in our decisions.
"What would Jesus do?" is a good question to ask ourselves when we wonder.......or wander, whichever hits home.

Best of luck to each of you this week. Care for each other and the ones you love.............

As I read these posts, I am truly blessed to know that there are those fellow coon hunters out there that have that fire for Jesus that a lot of people are scared to share. I am truly amazed that as Christians we have the knowledge and tools to deal with our everyday struggles. I can't imagine not being able to turn to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ when things are going bad or good for us. This is the first time that I have read these posts and I feel truly blessed to know that there are people who really care for those that are lost. How truly priveledged we are to be son's and daughter's of God. I would like to share a verse for today for my fellow Christian brothers even if we haven't met. 1 John 3: verse 1. How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God!! And that is what we are!!!!!! verse 2 reads, Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is!! God Bless you brothers and you can be sure I will keep reading here for encouragement and strength. Clayton Nisly.

Beyond this place that we dwell as of today, is Heaven.

Heaven will be our home one day. With God and those who have passed before us.

That is a peaceful thought for me.

Heaven awaits.............

WHEN WE WALK THROUGH TRIALS,THE STINGS AND PAINS WE FEEL MIGHT SEEM FAMILIAR.WE MIGHT BE FACING A DIFFERENT HARDSHIP,BUT WOUNDS FROM LONG AGO CAN BE REOPENED IF WE HAVENT GIVEN THEM OVER TO GODS HEALING.WHEN WE NURSE THEM WITH OUR OWN VERSION OF HEALING----SELFHELP SOLUTIONS,A CHANGE OF JOB OR ADDRESS,BURYING THE PAIN---WE WILL FELL THE PAIN AGAIN EVENTUALLY. GOD TAKES OUR EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL INJURIES AND SEALS THEM WITH SUTURES OF PROMISE,MERCY,AND UNDERSTANDING.ASK GOD INTO YOUR LIFE TODAY AND EXCHANGE YOUR VERSION OF REMEDY FOR GODS AUTHENTIC HEALING AND LOVE.,GOD LOVES YAS , WE LOVE YAS ,HAVE A BLESSED DAY, YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,RON{ MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL,AND TO ALL A BLESSED DAY.}

As I read these posts, I am truly blessed to know that there are those fellow coon hunters out there that have that fire for Jesus that a lot of people are scared to share. I am truly amazed that as Christians we have the knowledge and tools to deal with our everyday struggles. I can't imagine not being able to turn to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ when things are going bad or good for us. This is the first time that I have read these posts and I feel truly blessed to know that there are people who really care for those that are lost. How truly priveledged we are to be son's and daughter's of God. I would like to share a verse for today for my fellow Christian brothers even if we haven't met. 1 John 3: verse 1. How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God!! And that is what we are!!!!!! verse 2 reads, Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is!! God Bless you brothers and you can be sure I will keep reading here for encouragement and strength.

LIKE A LIP QUIEVERING,THE SOUL EXPRESSES THE FIRST TREMORS OF FEAR.WHAT IS SHAKING THE FOUNDATION YOU HAVE BUILT YOUR SECURITY ON ?IS IT THE LOSS OF YOUR JOB,A TROUBLED MARRIAGE,THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE,AN UNCERTIAN PROGNOSIS IN LIFE OR HEALTH?A CRISIS OF FAITH,AN UNEXPLAINABLE FEAR THAT TAKES OVER?SOMETIMES WE DONT KNOW WHAT CAUSES OUR SOULS TO SHATTER.IT MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU TO EVER KNOW---THAT IS A DIFFICULT TRUTH TO ACCEPT.BUT ALWAYS HOLD TIGHTLY TO THE PEACE OF WHAT YA DO KNOW...WE KNOW WHO WILL PUT THE PIECES BACK TOGETHER,{GOD WILL} AS HE ALWAYS DOES. THOUGH THINGS MIGHT BE SHAKEY BUT AS TIME PASSES ,WHEN YOU LOOK BACK YOU WILL SEE GOD CARRIED YOU ,HE STRAIGHTEND THINGS BACK OUT ,MADE THE PATH STRAIGHT ONCE AGAIN,,ASK GOD INTO YOUR LIFE ,HES ALWAYS THERE WAITING TO BE ASKED ,,....GOD LOVES YAS , WE LOVE YAS, HAVE A BLESSED DAY,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,RON....{MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY}!

SOMETIMES WHEN WEVE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME FOR HEALING WE START TO WATCH FOR SOMETHIN ELSE .ANY DISTRACTION WILL DO IT.LIKE WHEN WE ARE ON OUR WAY SOME WHERE AND WE GET DETOURED AND HAVE TO MAKE MANY STOPS ALONG THE WAY.WE BEGIN TO THINK THAT THESE STOPS REPRESENT OUR DESTINATION,AND WE BECOME DISCOURAGED.THE WONDER OF THE DESTINATION WILL BE LOST ON US IF WE DONT REALIZE THE MEANING OF EACH TIME OF WAITING.WHEN THE VIEW IS DISMAL,IT IS BECAUSE WE MISSED THE POINT OF THE STOP----THAT IS WHEN WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS OUR EYES EVER SO CLOSLEY ON JESUS.TURN YOUER EYES UP ON JESUS,LOOK FULL INTO HIS WONDERFUL FACE ,THEN THE THINGS OF THE WORLD GROWS STRANGLY DIM AT THE SIGHT OF HIS GLORY AND GRACE,,,,,....GOD LOVES YAS , WE LOVE YAS , HAVE A BLESSED DAY,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST.RON {MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR}
