The map

I have heard this before some where but my dad just sent it to me in an email and wanted to share it with everyone. It is so fitting in today's world.

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like so he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby , and said, 'Go into the other room and see if you can put this together.
This will show you our whole country today.


After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. 'Oh,' she said, 'on the other side of the paper is a
picture of Jesus. When I got Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together.'

If we center our lives around Christ and bring him back to the hearts of the people in America I believe our mess here in the States can be fixed. When we look to the Lord we make peace out of chaos.
