Every Sunday God would look down from heaven and see some men riding around on this green patch of grass chasing a little white ball.

This one Sunday he says to Saint Peter, \”Come on Peter let’s see what this is all about\”.

They pick up a bag a clubs and some golf balls at the club house and proceed out onto the greens.

At Hole 7, there is a large pond, 275 yards to the pin. Jesus chooses a 7 Iron and proceeds to tee up when Peter says, \”God you are going to need a bigger club then that to reach the green\”.

Jesus: \”I been watching this guy Tiger Woods and this is what he uses on this Hole\”.

He tees off and plop the ball goes into the water.

Jesus throws the club down on the ground and walks out across the lake to retrieve his ball.

Another golfer coming along the fairways sees this and says to Peter, \”Who does that guy think he is, Jesus Christ?\”

Peter: \”No that isn’t the problem he imagines that he is Tiger Woods.

A very good reminder……………….

If you think you \’re unhappy – look at them

If you think your salary is low, how about her?

If you think you don\’t have many friends…

When you feel like giving up, think of this man

If you complain about your transport system, how about them?

If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

If your society is unfair to you, how about her?

Enjoy life how it is and as it comes

Things are worse for others and is a lot better for us

There are many things in your life that will catch your eye
but only a few will catch your heart….pursue those…
