October

One day, a man was at the barber, having a haircut. The barber then started a conversation with him and the barber said to the man, "Do you know that i do not believe that God exists?" The man replied "why?"

The barber said, "Well, if there is a God, why is there so much sufferings in the world? So many troubles. The world is a big mess. So, when i see all these, i don't believe that God exists."
The man thought he better not argue with the barber as after all, he is holding the blade. So he just kept quiet and let the barber continue talking.

After the haircut, the man thanked the barber and he walked out of the door. Just as he stepped outside, he saw another man, who was unshaven, with long messy and dirty hair.
The man quickly pulled the other man into the barber shop and he said to the barber,
"Hey, do you know that i also do not believe that barbers exist?"
The barber replied, "What do you mean? I just gave you a haircut, made you clean and neat"
However, the man said, "No no, there is really no such thing as barbers in this world at all! If there were really barbers, there will be no such person as this man here in the streets! There will be no one with long dirty hair and unshaven at all."
The barber replied,"That is because he did not come to me. If he would have come to me and looked for me, i would have cleaned him up and given him a haircut and made him look really good"
The man said, " Yes, it is the same with God also. If only we would humble ourselves and come to Him, to seek Him and ask for help, the world will not have been such a mess today."

Amen
