4/10–Start Your Day Off Right Series
Quote:
4/10–Love— When all the people in the world love one another, then the strong will not overpower the weak, the many will not oppress the few, the wealthy will not mock the poor, the honored will not disdain the humble, and the cunning will not deceive the simple
Story:
4/10–The touching story is told of a grandfather who loved being with his grandson. One day he asked, “Son, come and go with me.” The boy hesitated and first asked where his grandfather was going. Granddad left in silence without answering and did not return for more than three hours.
The young grandson was confused as to why his grandfather said nothing on the way out the door. Billy said, “Granddad, why did you leave without me?”
After a moment of silence, his grandfather replied, “Because you asked me where I was going. If you really want to go and to be with me, it does not matter where I am going.”
And so it is with our faith in our heavenly Father. We may not always know exactly where He is going as He leads us, but we nevertheless are to go.
Scripture:
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Humor:
4/10–A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down. Finally, the pilot grabbed a parachute and yelled to the passengers that they better jump, and he himself bailed out.
Unfortunately, there were only three parachutes remaining.
The doctor grabbed one and said “I’m a doctor, I save lives, so I must live,” and jumped out.
The lawyer then said, “I’m a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live.” He also grabbed a parachute and jumped.
The priest looked at the little boy and said, “My son, I’ve lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace.”
The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, “Not to worry Father. The smartest man in the world just took off with my back pack.”
Your job doesn’t always define you, but being a Good Human being Does.
