The Story Of The Church Janitor

Did you hear the story of Bill? Bill was out of work and applied for a janitorial position at the local downtown First Baptist Church. He was asked to complete an application. Bill had to confess that he couldn’t write or read.

They turned him down saying that some of the janitor’s duties involved reading work orders. Discouraged but not down, Bill bought a basket of apples, set up shop on the side of the road. Business was good. Bill knew where to get the best apples. He sold out his inventory, bought some more and did the same.

Several years later, he had amassed over one million dollars. He went to a bank and asked for a loan to expand and construct a building for his fruit company. The bank officer said, “Here, fill out this form.” “Sorry, but I can’t write,” Bill said.

The banker shot back, “You can’t write? Just think where you would be if you could read and write!!” Bill muttered, “I know exactly where I would be, I’d be a janitor at First Baptist Church.”

Bill was motivated. He used what he had. How about you?

Such As I Have I Give Unto You

Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

3/3–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

3/3–Do you have a mind full of peace,  simply fill it with peace it’s as simple as that!

Story:

3/3–One day a little boy complained that his new shoes were hurting his feet. I looked down at his feet. No wonder they hurt. His shoes were on the wrong feet! When I changed them he felt better and was soon the liveliest little fellow in the group. Sometimes our lives seem all sour and stale. We find fault with everyone around us. We need to stop and take a good look at our feet. If we were wearing the same shoes the other fellow wears, would we be happy? 

Scripture:

Matthew 5:9

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Humor:

Billy Graham And The Chauffeur

The Story Of The Little Boy Who Had His Shoes On The Wrong Feet

What I Learned About Seeking God From Esther

Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house. And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

3/2—Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

3/2–The sign of a beautiful person is they always see the beauty in others

Story:

3/2–A little girl had been told many times by a childless old couple that if she would come and live with them, they would get her everything she wanted-a pony and cart, a piano, and the like. 

One day when the couple had been particularly urgent, her father said, “Don’t you think you had better go with them?” 

The little girl looked at him in alarm and cried, “Why, Daddy, don’t you want me?” “Yes,” he replied, “but I can’t give you very much, and they will give you everything nice.” “But I wouldn’t have you!” she said as she snuggled up to him.

Scripture:

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Humor:

3/2–The photographer for a national magazine was assigned to get photos of a great forest fire. Smoke at the scene hampered him and he asked his home office to hire a plane. 

Arrangements were made and he was told to go at once to a nearby airport, where the plane would be waiting. 

When he arrived at the airport, a plane was warming up near the runway. He jumped in with his equipment and yelled, “Let’s go! Let’s go!” The pilot swung the plane into the wind and they soon were in the air. “Fly over the north side of the fire,” yelled the photographer, “and make three or four low level passes.” “Why?” asked the pilot. “Because I’m going to take pictures,” cried the photographer. “I’m a photographer and photographers take pictures!” 

After a pause the pilot said, “You mean you’re not the instructor?”  

A Wonderful Example Of Multiplication

Multiplication—I heard a story about a man who had a flat tire late one night, but didn’t have a jack.  Another man, who had a jack stopped and changed his tire.  The man who received the help wanted to know how much he owed. 

The man with jack said that he owed nothing. He went on to say that the way to repay was to find 10 people who need help and repay by helping them. Now that is multiplication to the highest degree!!
