Gift of God

-

      







    God gives each of us at least one gift to use in our lifetime.  If we exercise our gift(s)

it may be multiplied.  If for some reason, however, that gift is not exercised our Spirit may die.

I suppose my gift is in exhorting the brothers/sisters in Christ, whether this be through email, the blog,

or some other means.

        Any other gift I may have had has been left to die.  When you are left on a lonely road you

find more time to do things for Christ.  So, you have more time to build the brotherhood up.  You

spend more time in reading and meditation with God.  When you are passed over to do something in

church it may hurt more, because you feel like it came directly from God.

         There are those who are left alone as it says in the book of Enoch, "God did not prepare for them a

wife."  If God did not prepare a mate for someone, they are more likely expected to worship Him, and

Praise Him.   That is their main gift.  They may know much, and there may be more gifts such as 

teaching.  Their main gift, however, is to praise and worship God.  Even so, to praise and glorify God is

the main purpose of life. 

Paul D. Eccles

Self Pleasing

                                  Once upon a time in the Other Land lived a girl who did not believe in God, nor did she believe in the faith of the Church she went to.  She was just an active participant from the  fellowship she got from the congregation.  I might add that this kind of member pleased Satan.                                     The girl's name was Alice, and she went to services only for the pure enjoyment she  she could receive from it.  For Alice was out to please Alice and no one else.  This did not please God, but as I said earlier, did please Satan!    Satan had other workers in the Church who were there to please themselves as well.  God: however, was always hard at work sending His messengers to solve this  problem.      ...

               One morning Thunder wakes up, and tells Maxine that they are going to take a vacation back  to  his homelands in the Woods in Indiana.  Maxine just says, "that is fine dear, but, you should have  checked to see if I had a tea, or any diplomatic duties first."                Thunder just hoed and hummed as he got dressed.  He then told Maxine, "anything like that  could be rearranged.  Furthermore you will have tea at the Woods."                  As they were walking to breakfast Maxine rolled her eyes.  She then addressed Thunder in a loving fashion and said, "Well dear, I am glad you have it all thought out, but where ever will we stay? You do have the twins to recall, or were they just staying here at the White House.                Thunder and his family by this time ...

In The End

                                              Charles went to a funeral in present time.  He saw there a whole cast of  characters he had not seen in a long time.  He wondered if the church psychologist would be there, and she was not.  Instead, his friend, daffy, old, retired, psychologist, Doctor Donald Dawk was  there.  Doctor Dawk talked briefly to Charles.                                   The funeral, of course, was for the relatives of the Westend's.  Old Mr. West- end had passed away peacefully in his sleep at 101 years of age.  He left behind many survivors, which included a wife named Betty.   Mister Westend had served in Germany in World War II.  The family of course was given military honors.   ...
