It Doesn’t Cost Much

mikeandsus

The little mountain of coins grew slowly. I was next in line at Big Lots. (Kind of a yard sale under a roof, if you’ve never been there.) The woman in front of me was paying for her $6.57 purchase. . . all in coins. “$1.75, $2.00, . . .,” she began counting again. Both times she was two pennies short. I could see the dilemma on her face as she searched her purse for more money. What was she going to have to leave behind in her precious purchase because she did not have enough? “Here,” I said as … Continue reading It Doesn’t Cost Much

“Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go. “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.” ~ Joshua 1: 7 – 8 “Wow!

Stewards of Grace and Gifts

mikeandsus

“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” 1 Peter 4:10 This was a new thought to me that I am a steward of God’s grace and of the spiritual gift He gives me. The gift belongs to Him. I should not be proud about my spiritual gift. I should be a good steward and use what God has given me. To make the best use of my spiritual gift I can study about it as well as apply it. My gift is to be used for … Continue reading Stewards of Grace and Gifts

The focus of the story is the increased spiritual interest of college students and their involvement with Christian groups. 79% of college students are showing an interest in spiritual things.

The King’s Home

mikeandsus

I lowered the tray of colorful Christmas cookies and suggested, “Pick one out for your Daddy, too.” Two little boys with big brown eyes reached up and picked out their favorites. “I want the castle,” said the oldest as he clutched the church-shaped cookie. “Well,” I chuckled. “that’s a church, but you could call it a home for a King.” The youngest wanted to eat his green tree cookie AND Daddy’s star, too, . . . right then. I had a few more brief visits with them and with their mother, Cathy, for several months, and then one afternoon last … Continue reading The King’s Home

Marco, continued

mikeandsus

“I pray but I don’t need to go to church…” Marco began to defend himself for not attending Mass. I briefly mentioned the importance of being with other believers, but decided to ask instead, “Do you read the Bible?” “No,” he admitted. “What kind of relationship would you have with your son if you did not talk to each other?” I asked. “You talk to God through prayer and He CAN talk to you through prayer, too, but He mainly speaks to us through the Bible.” I followed Marco around as he treated our home for insects. We talked about … Continue reading Marco, continued
