PLEASE DON'T WAKE HIM
PLEASE DON'T WAKE HIM
A man was giving his testimony at one
of those old Salvation Army open air street
meetings. As he was testifying, a heckler in
the crowd yelled, "Why don't you shut up
and sit down? You're just dreaming."
Immediately that heckler felt a tug on his coat.
He looked down to see a little girl, who said.
"Sir, may I speak to you? That man who is
talking up there is my daddy.
Daddy used to be a drunkard. He used to
spend all of the money he made on whiskey.
My mother was very sad and would cry most
of the time. "Sometimes when my daddy came
home, he would hit my mother. I didn't
have shoes or a nice dress to wear to school.
But look at my shoes. And see this pretty dress?
My daddy bought these for me." But the little
girl wasn't through with that heckler yet. "See
my mother over there? She's the one with
the bright smile on her face. She's happy now.
She sings even when she's doing the ironing."
Then the little girl said, "Mister, if my daddy
is dreaming, please don't wake him up."

This is an updated page. It was brought to
my attention that with the Holidays are coming
and that we should not forget the CHILDREN.
They are the ones that don't understand when
there are no present or sometimes food for them.
Think about it these same children are our future
leaders.
THINK ABOUT IT!
