email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai.

I found this to be very touching and ever so true- pity a few more people don’t follow in these steps !!!



The Mum of Jesus Christ.

email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai.

An old nun who was living in a convent next to a construction site noticed the coarse language of the workers and decided to spend some time with them to correct their ways.

She decided she would take her lunch and sit with them, so she put her sandwich in a
 brown bag and walked over to the spot where the men were eating.

Sporting a big smile, she walked up to the group and asked:  "Any of you men know Jesus Christ?"

They shook their heads and looked at each other, very confused. Then one of the workers looked up into the steelworks and yelled out, "Anybody up there know Jesus Christ?"

One of the steelworkers yelled back down, "Why?"

The worker yelled back,
 "’Cause his mum's here with his lunch.
