Gods way of protection
During World War II, a US marine was separated from his unit on a Pacific island. The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades. Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction.
Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge to several small caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves. Although safe for the moment, he realised that once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he would be killed.
As he waited, he prayed, Lord, if it be your will, please protect me. Whatever your will though, I love you and trust you.
After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw close. He thought, well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one.
Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave.
As he watched, listening to the enemy searching for him all the while, the spider layered strand after strand of web across the opening of the cave.
Hah, he thought. What I need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me is a spider web. God does have a sense of humour.
As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hideout and could see them searching one cave after another. As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand.
To his amazement, however, after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on. Suddenly, he realised that with the spider web over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while.
Lord, forgive me, prayed the young man. I had forgotten that in you a spider's web is stronger than a brick wall.
We all face times of great trouble. When we do, it is so easy to forget the victories that God would work in our lives, sometimes in the most surprising ways.
Remember: Whatever is happening in your life, with God, a mere spiders web can become a brick wall of protection.

story with a twist...
On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a young guy leaning against
the wall, doing nothing.
He approached the young man and calmly said to him, How much do you
earn?"
The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal
question, he replied, none the less, "I earn $ 2000.00 a month, Sir.
Why?"
Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $ 6000.00 cash
And gave it to the young man and said, "Around here I pay people for
working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is 3 months
'salary, now GET OUT and don't come back".
The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight. Noticing a Few
onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner, "And that applies for
everybody in this company". He approached one of the onlookers and asked
him, "Who's the young man that I just fired?"
To which an amazing reply came , "He was the pizza delivery man,
Sir...!!!"

nice story
Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.'
The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'
'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father.
'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.
'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.'
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.
