LIFETIME OF LEARNING!

When you are going to school, you just can't wait until you graduate. Well, did you know you never get too old to learn and it is a lifetime experience!

Yesterday I went to our "Home Extension" (not what they call it today) and had a lesson on the country of China. We learned many things about that country. No matter how old one gets, you can still learn. Also, the camaraderie you have with those ladies are priceless. One thing lead to another subject. I told them about an e-mail that was sent to me a few months ago. I will tell you the jest of the e-mail.

There was a church that was needing extra cash. They found some bibles (they forgot they had) in the attic of the church and thought perhaps if they went door to door that they could sell these bibles to raise money they needed. Of course, they needed volunteers for this project of selling these bibles.

Two men of the church were salesmen and they volunteered. Well another person volunteered, also. The pastor thought the salesmen would do very well, but the other man, he was rather doubtful of whether he would be able to sell anything (since he had a speech problem). Remember Moses had a speech problem and look what he did. The pastor didn't want to discourage the man, so he decided to let him join the other two in selling these bibles.

They all went out and one of the salesmen said that he earned $250 that day. The other salesman said, he didn't do quite that well and only brought in $195. The pastor was hesitant in asking the man with the speech problem what he was able to sell, but still he had to ask.
This man said that he sold a $1,000 worth. The pastor was absolutely amazed!!! He asked him what in the world did he do to raise that much money?

Well the man said, "I ww-went uu-up tt-to tt- he dd-door and aa-asked ii-f they ww-anted to buy a bb-ible or ww-ould tt-hey rr-ather hh-ave mm- e rr-ead tt-he bb-ible to them!

Next writing I will tell you about a speech (or lack of one) that I gave.

Wisdom--Don't ever under-estimate the smallest effort a person gives that is dedicated to be used of God!! God uses the lest of these to confound the wise! I Corinthians 1:27 says--"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" Maybe there is still hope for me yet!
