FIVE FINGER PRAYER:
1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for
those closest to you.
They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as
C. S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty."
2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach,
instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and
ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right
direction. Keep them in your prayers.
3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our
leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry,
and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public
opinion. They need God's guidance.
4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the
fact, that this is our weakest finger; as any piano teacher
will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in
trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and
night. You cannot pray too much for them.
5. And lastly comes our little finger; the smallest finger of all.
Which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and
others. As the Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you.
" Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself.. By the time
you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put
into proper
perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more
effectively.

FROM ONE PUMPKIN TO ANOTHER!
Another classmate asked a 10-year-old little girl, "What is it like to
be Godly ?" The 10 year old little girl replied, "It is like being a
pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you >> in, and washes all
the dirt off of you. Then he cuts open the top and scoops out all the
yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., and
then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to
shine for all the world to see." This was passed on to me from another
pumpkin. Now, it is your turn to pass it to a pumpkin.
