The Lesson Of The Ember In The Fire

A member of a certain Church, who previously had been attending meetings regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, an elder decided to visit him.

It was a chilly evening. The elder found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for the elder’s visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a big chair near the fireplace and waited.

The elder made himself comfortable but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the play of the flames around the burning logs.

After some minutes, the elder took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone.

Then he sat back in his chair, still silent. The host watched all this in quiet fascination. As the one lone ember’s flame diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and “dead as a doornail.”

Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting. Just before the elder was ready to leave, he picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire.

Immediately it began to glow once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it. As the elder reached the door to leave, his host said, “Thank you so much for your visit and especially for the fiery lesson. I shall be back at the Church next Sunday.”

Can You Spare A Minute 3/4?

If you can’t find two minutes, can you spare just one?

3/4– Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

3/4–In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

Story:

3/4–Broken Heart

I heard a story about a man who invited his neighbor to attend church with him. On the way home, the neighbor said, “I noticed you have a new preacher.” “Yes,” said his friend, “We fired the old one. He was always telling us unless we repented, we were going to hell.”

“But,” the neighbor replied, “your new preacher said the very same thing this morning.” “True,” was the reply, “but our old preacher acted like he was happy about the situation. When our new preacher says this, it seems to break his heart.”

Scripture:

Ephesians 4:15-16

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Humor:

3/4–Our happy little fox terrier, Cookie, had a game all her own. Every time we climbed into our car, she took a head start to race us to the bottom of the hill. Down the driveway she would scoot, across our near-neighbor’s lawn, down the hill, across a basketball court, through a little gate, around our new neighbor’s house, and through her front hedge just in time to grin at us as we caught up a half block from home. Our new neighbor down the hill, upon meeting us for the first time recently, remarked, “We always know when you folks are going somewhere.” “How can you tell?” I asked. “Well,” she said, “it’s strange, but always just before you drive past our house, our cat climbs a tree.”

Refuse To Live With The Frogs Anymore

No frogs, no more!

Exodus 8:8-10

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD. And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our 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.

What If We Were In The Other Person’s Shoes
