In Everything Give Thanks...
In everything give thanks... I have been reminded of these words so many times here in Africa. I have seen smiles on the faces of... children with no shoes, men carrying heavy loads on their backs, families with very little food to eat, children that have been abandoned, and pastors riding bicycles for transportation over many jungle miles.
Are You Getting Anything on Sunday?
I heard a story about a family discussion on the way home from church one Sunday morning. Father was upset because the preacher preached too long, mom did not like the hymn played during the offering, and the college-age sister complained about the soloist being off-key. Little junior sat quietly listening to the whole discussion, and then replied, “Didn’t you think it was a good show for only a dollar?” He must have been watching as father placed his neatly folded dollar bill in the offering plate.
