joke

[ThienAn]

A mother brought her little boy to a candy store. The store was filled with jars of all kinds of candy. The owner, being a good friend of the mother, wanted to give the little boy some candy. "Sonny, you can pick any jar you like, open the lid, and grab as much candy as you like," he said. The boy just stood with his hands behind his back and didn't say anything. Seeing how timid her son was, she gave him permission to go ahead and grab any candy that he likes. But still, the little just stood there.

So, the owner went ahead and opened a jar, grabbed some candy, and the boy gladly opened his two hands to receive the candy from the owner. After the mother & the little had left the store, it bothered her a little bit. "Son, why did you not take the candy even though the owner & I gave you the permission to do so, but you waited until the owner grabbed the candy for you?" she asked. "Because he had bigger hands!" he answered.

Enjoyed your joke, ThienAn.

why do our minds turn to greediness? um.....

 

[ThienAn]

Just to show you this isn't about greediness, a friend of mine learned a lesson from this story. He said that currently he's looking for someone to teach him and guide him while studying the word of God; sort of like a personal mentor or teacher. After hearing this story, he's really convinced that he needs to do that because from the story, if you have a personal mentor guiding you through the word of God, you would learn so much more than learning it by yourself.

Isn't that the truth!  Why settle for less when we know we can have so much more...apply that story to life! 

Jesus placed His hands in the Candy Jar for us and handed us all the candy we could want in the world and all we had to do was just grab it from Him.

What a blessing it is to serve a Master such as Jesus!
