Hello Friends. I just feel I have to share this true story that happened
to me and my brother Taffy afew weeks ago.

We arrived home fom our work places , feeling so tired and the only thing we wanted to do was to prepare
our dinner and sleep.Suddenly my phone rang, it was the owner of the flat we wanted to move into.He said he wanted to meet us and makesure
all the conracts are said and done. Since it was a bit chilly we had to put on our jackets and leave to see this man. But there was one thing that I overlooked.
Because the place was soo close and I also asummed we weren`t gonna take long there . I then just lowered the heat of the stove to slightly below average.

We then left to our to be new place.When we got there , we realised that he wasn`t home as yet so we had to wait for a little while as well ,more than we thougt.
He then arrived, and we even stayed more cuz we had so much to talk about and discuss. After a long time we went back home.

When we arrived at the gate , I then told Taffy that something wasn`t fine in the house. We blew it. The smell even got more closer the more we moved close to the door. When we opened the house it was all smokey.
The pot on the stove was so burnt that I got no words to explain that and rice in the pot If I call it rice that won`t be the right word.
We all agreed that everything should be thrown into the bin, both the pot and the rice.

The following day we got so busy cleaning our stuff as well as carrying them to the new place. I started carrying them first.
When I came back I realised that my brother Tafadzwa was busy outside, cuz I was also busy , I never bother ask what he was up to.

It was only when I come back when I saw a smile on his face and a finger pointing at the pot we had all agreed it should be thrown away.
The pot was so clean and shiny. Shiner than the day we bought it. He had given it a new look. Very clean.
Even up to now it is one of our best pots in the house. WE USE IT EVERYDAY.

As I looked at that I just thought about this.No matter how black we may be in our hearts,how dirty our thoughts may be.Our Lord is ready to clean us and make us a new subject fit for heaven as long as we repent
and ask for forgiveness.
He is ready to make us shiny and be the light of the world.
 
That was a great story. Imagine that.
Lord make me shiny, make me over again.

I also thank God there wasnt a fire.
God bless you Shingie:rose:
 
that is so true

that is a good story, when you ask for forgiveness it takes away a multitude of sins as it says in the bible, I serve the lord with my whole body and soul none the less, I would rather serve in heaven than reign in hell, when you know Jesus is truly standing by you and that is all you see everyday and think about then you know you serve him above everything else in this world, because that is all that's going to matter when we pass away, all were going to be able to take with us is our soul and who we believe in and I chose to believe in God, Jesus and the Holy ghost.

the LordServant forever
