Our lesson this morning is titled , THE CATCHER . The Text is JOHN 14 :1-6 . Our THOUGHTS for today are : Life is a risky enterprise . Sometimes we fly high , enjoying great success . But then , suddenly we fall into deep disappointments and themhaunting reality of failure, leaving our hearts wondering if there is anything worth looking forward to . At a funeral recently , the pastor told the story about a trapeze artist . The performer admitted that although he,is seen asmthe star of the show , the real star is the catcher _the teammate who hangs from another trapeze bar to grab him and guarantee a safe landing . The key , he explained , is trust . With out-stretched arms, the flyer must trust that the catcher,is ready and able to grab him . Dying is like trusting in,God as the catcher . After we have flown through,life , we can look forward to God reaching out to catch His followers and to pull us safely to Himself forever . I like that thought . This reminds me of Jesus comforting words to His disciplies : Let not uour heart be troubled .....I go to prepare a place for you . And ......I will come again and receive you to Myself ;that where I,am , there you may be also . Life is indeed a tisky business , but be encouraged ! If you have put your faith in JesusmChrist, the Cstcher is waiting at the end yo take uou safely home . _J. Stowell
