THREE BULLETS

There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an
old rifle and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out hunting
and kill some wild game for dinner.

As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit. He shot at the rabbit and
missed it. The rabbit ran away.

Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it.
The squirrel disappeared into a hole in a cottonwood tree.

As he went further, he saw a large wild turkey up in a tree, but he had
only one bullet remaining. A voice spoke to him and said, "Pray first,
aim high and stay focused." However, at the same time, he saw a deer
which would provide more meat than the turkey. He brought the gun down
and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattlesnake between his legs
about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot
the rattlesnake. Still, the voice again said to him, "Pray first, aim
high and stay focused."

So, the man decided to listen to God's voice. He prayed, then aimed the
gun high up in the tree, and shot the wild turkey. The bullet went into
the turkey, deflected off a bone and hit the deer, killing it. When the
gun fired, it knocked the man off balance, he stepped on the
rattlesnake's head which killed it and fell backwards into a pond. When
he stood up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a deer and a
turkey with which to feed his family. The snake was dead simply because
the man listened to God.

Moral of the story:
Keep God first and everything else will follow.

Pray first before you do anything. Aim high in your goals, and stay
focused on God. Never let people or things discourage you concerning
your past. Do not look to man for your blessings, but look only to God.

Excellent Burnie, when one refuses to listen to and have faith in the Holy Ghost they are walking on very thin ice.
