5/28– Can You Spare A Minute?

There was a man who seemed stingy to everybody who knew him.

He would be very scrupulous about how he spent even a nickel or a dime, so that he was greatly ridiculed.

Finally it became known that he had an invalid wife and an invalid child for whom he cared, and they needed the very last penny that he could save to keep them alive. The criticism of outsiders now turned to admiration for him.

Because we are unable to know everything about a man, we cannot possibly judge him rightly.

Love And The Woman Who Thought She Wanted A Divorce

Newspaper columnist and minister George Crane tells of a wife who came into his office full of hatred toward her husband. “I do not only want to get rid of him, I want to get even.

Before I divorce him, I want to hurt him as much as he has me.”

Dr. Crane suggested an ingenious plan “Go home and act as if you really love your husband. Tell him how much hemeans to you. Praise him for every decent trait. Go out of your way to be as kind, considerate, and generous as possible. Spare no efforts to please him, to enjoy him. Make him believe you love him. After you’ve convinced him of your undying love and that you cannot live without him, then drop the bomb. Tell him that your’re getting a divorce. That will really hurt him.”

With revenge in her eyes, she smiled and exclaimed, “Beautiful, beautiful. Will he ever be surprised!” And she did it with enthusiasm. Acting “as if.” For two months she showed love, kindness, listening, giving, reinforcing, sharing.

When she didn’t return, Crane called. “Are you ready now to go through with the divorce?” Divorce?” she exclaimed. “Never! I discovered I really do love him.” Her actions had changed her feelings. Motion resulted in emotion. The ability to love is established not so much by fervent promise as often repeated deeds.

5/27–Be With Those That Build You Up

Story:

There was once a man and woman who had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted doilies and a stack of money totaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents. “When we were to be married,” she said, “My grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily.”

The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. “Honey,” he said, “that explains the doilies, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?” “Oh,” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the doilies.”

Scripture:

Proverbs 9:8-10

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:

rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:

teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:

and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

5/27–Normal desires of life compared with greed remind one of the difference between a fire used for cooking and the out of control forest fire. The forest fire can even “crown”. This is a term fire fighters use to indicate a fire that has leaped to the very top of the trees and is blown along by the wind.

Greed can be like that “crowned” forest fire. Blown along by the wind, it can lead to complete destruction for the person.

Greed is nothing more than desire out of control.

Beware Lest You Neglect God And Your Salvation

Hebrews 2:1-3. Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

Church Signs:

The church is our SPIRITUAL ARK; you get things in church YOU CAN’T GET ANYWHERE ELSE!

Story:

Filling up on junk– If I am coming home to a good home cooked meal, how hungry will I be if I stop off at a convenience stop and have a soft drink, chips, and a candy bar? Probably not very hungry at all. That’s why we can’t learn some of the good things of life, we are too full of the trivial, meaningless things to get to absorb the better. I’m like a dried old sponge, ready to soak it up. If a sponge is so dry that it is brittle and ready for the garbage, just a little water can bring it back to life.

Garbage—Excuses are for the most part is like garbage. We think our excuse is different and bona fide. It is like the garbage in my office. If you ask what do I have in the can. I don’t attempt to itemize it–an apple core, a banana peeling. I just say garbage.

Scripture:

Amos 8:11

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD,

that I will send a famine in the land,

not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,

but of hearing the words of the LORD:

Can You Spare A Minute 5/26?

5/26–A brother was conducting a Bible study with a student who failed to put into practice what he was learning. One day, after the study, our brother mentioned to the student that he had bought a book on health and fitness with the promise: “Become as fit as a marine or in sixteen weeks.”

“You know,” he lamented, “I’ve had the book more than 16 weeks, I’ve read it more than three times already, and I’m STILL not as fit as a marine. In fact I’m just as unfit as I ever was.”

“Have you been doing the exercises from the book?” the Bible student asked.

“No,” the brother admitted.

“Then how do you expect to get anywhere with the book if you just read it, but don’t do what it says …”

The brother could tell by the way the tone of the student’s voice changed during the middle of his question that he had got the point!
