Three Bullets

A man had no food for his family.

He had an old rifle and three bullets. So he decided that he would go out hunting for some wild game for dinner.

As he went 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 'Tom' turkey in the 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 was a better kill.

He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But then he saw a rattlesnake about to bite him, so he naturally brought the gun down to shoot the rattlesnake.

Still, the voice said again to him, 'I said 'Pray, 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 passed thru the turkey and killed the deer.

The handle fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it.


And when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond.

When he stood up to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead
deer and a turkey to eat for his family.

The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God.

Moral of the story:

Pray first before you do anything. Aim and shoot high in your goals, and
stay focused on God.

Never let others discourage you concerning your past. The past is
exactly that. 'the past.'

Live every day one day at a time and remember that only God knows our
future and that He will not put you through any more than you can bear.

Do not look to man for your blessings, but look to the doors that only He has prepared in advance for you in your favor.

Wait, be still and patient: keep God first and everything else will follow.

Pass this on in order that someone else might be blessed.
