I heard a little joke one time that rings so true in life:
An old minister was headed into the church one morning with his little grandson. As he passed by the offering box at the back of the church he flipped some change in it. That morning the old preacher delivered his message and there wasn't much response. As they were leaving he stopped to check the offering box. All that was there was the change he had put in it. I assume there was a look of disappointment on his face. The little boy looked up at his grandpa and said....If you had put more in it....you would have gotten more out of it!!!
This is so true in everything we do. The more we practice the better we get. The more we love, the more love we receive. The more we give the more we get.
Don't eat your seed. The fruit is always, always bigger than the seed. In Luke 6:38 it says "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you....I'm thinking a scoop shovel might work really good to measure with!!
Have a Great day too!!! I sure do love y'all!
We lost our ballgame in the 14th inning last night. We can still win the tournament tho. It's gonna take a little more effort, but they have the power and ability to accomplish it! Please pray for strength for our young men. It's so hot out there. Just want them safe.
Blessings!!
