from Vance Havner - “The Dead Sea
has an inlet but no outlet and therefore is a “dead sea.” It’s so salty that
when you swim in it you bob like a cork. Many people are just like the Dead
Sea, they are always getting but they do not give. A life spent for self is a
life wasted. A life that never gives is small and with little redeeming value.
The Scripture says, “...freely ye have received, freely give,” and “Give and it
shall be given unto to you…” We are blessed to be a blessing.” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is for you to be
a “contributor” and not just a “consumer!”

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give
unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.” KJV
“I knew that Alabama fans were a little over
the top but this fellow takes the cake. A BAMA fan named Fred had tickets to the
BCS Championship game featuring Alabama and LSU at the 50 yard line. As Fred
sat down, a man came and asked him if anyone was going to occupy the seat next
to him. “No,” said Fred, “sit right down. The seat will be empty.” “That’s
incredible!” said the man. “Who in their right mind would reserve a seat like
this for the BCS championship and then not use it?” Fred said, “Well, actually,
the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed
away. “Oh... I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. But couldn’t you find
someone else – a friend or relative, or even a neighbor – to take her seat?” Fred
shook his head sadly. “No. They’re all at the funeral.” Edited from ChristiansUnite.com
