Jesus Is Watching

A burglar snuck into a house one night. Shining his flashlight on the floor in the dark, he heard a voice saying, "Jesus is watching you."

He looked around nervously, shook his head, and kept looking for valuables. He again heard, "Jesus is watching you."

This time, he shone his light all over, and it rested on a parrot. He asked, "Did you say that?"

The parrot admitted that he had. "I'm just trying to warn you, is all."

The burglar said, "Warn me, huh? Who are you? What's your name?"

"Moses."

"Well, what kind of stupid people would name a parrot Moses?"

The bird answered, "I don't know, I guess the same folks who would name a rottweiler Jesus."

Ha ha. Spending the last few days within a hospital, I noticed something. Jesus. He was everywhere. Every time they moved my dad…you bet…there was Jesus. He was in the waiting rooms, lobbies, cafeterias, and oddly enough the bathrooms. The crucifix was hanging at every occasion.

You know…this hospital is on the money. Jesus is everywhere. Jesus is watching. The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever (Psalm 121:5, 7, & 8). How cool is that!

Here’s a pic of Jesus within a waiting room...our temporary home away from home. Until next time. Jed.
