Funny how we call God our Father and Jesus our brother, but find it hard to introduce them to our family.

Funny how small our sins seem, but how big "their" sins are.

Funny how we demand justice for others, but expect mercy from God.

Funny how much difficulty some have learning the Gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is to understand and explain the latest gossip about someone else.

Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray to 'our best friend', but don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk about to our other friend's.

Funny how we are so quick to take directions from a total stranger when we are lost, but are hesitant to take God's direction for our lives.

Funny how so many churchgoers sing "Standing on the Promises" but all they do is sit on the premises.

Funny how people want God to answer their prayers but refuse to listen to His counsel.

Funny how it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering   in the world, but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant.  

Funny how when something goes wrong, we cry, "Lord, why  me?" but when something goes right, we think, "Hey, it must be me!"

Oh wait...maybe all this isn't so "funny" after all.

Funny how we probably all read this topic, but few of us take the courage of sharing it to others.

Funny how we set our clocks to arise at 4:00am or 5:00 am to be at the job by 7:30, yet when Sunday comes we can't get to church for 11:00 a.m. to praise the one who gave us the jobs!

Funny how we sing about heaven, but live only for today.

Funny how people think they are going to Heaven but don't think there is a Hell.

I got this from Ate Crispy again. This was also posted on the UST CCM several months ago. It was on the Food For Thought section.

Funny right? Isn't it so ironic then? Very paradoxical? Is it an oxymoron? Complete opposites - yes! That's it. We do things expecting for the good but the way we really do it is the wrong way. All we forgot is that God is there to make it right but we work by ourselves and try to correct our mistakes in the way we know ... which is wrong. Maybe, this one is just one that alarms us ... wakes us up from the reality.
