It’s hard to take, sometimes difficult to understand as you watch!

Ever had to watch your Dad feed cubes or hay over the fence to some starving calves that were not even his? Just because their owner might not realize their condition!

Ever wish your dad would give you some money for something you didn’t need, yet he would turn around and give a beef to an orphans home?

Ever watch as your Mom would dream up a job for a beggar to do for food and then see her feed him and give him extra travel food and money?

Ever watch your Mom store a “Bandito’s” broken motorcycle and talk to him like he was a friend and witness to him about good and evil and God?

Ever watched as both of your parents work hard on a hot summer’s day and make sure the hoe hands did their job, yet pay them a bonus at the day’s end?

Ever watched as your parents took water and ice cream to little kids in a hot van while they waited for the field laborers to finish?

THEN, have you ever had grown up kids of families that used to work for your parents, to do a days work for free, in honor of how they remember your deceased patents?

Ever had to watch at your Dad’s funeral as a couple from “another race” reached into the coffin and squeezed his hand for one last goodby to someone they knew loved them?

Ever found out later after going over your parents business to settle the estate, that why we were not wealthy was because five or six Orphan’s Homes and several Missionaries were being regularly and personally given thousands of dollars.

Ever wonder how when both parents were orphans and yet they were able to help so many others and when they passed, they did not owe one penny to anyone or even the IRS!?

When I was younger, I thought my parents had “it” given to them on a silver plater! Come to find out, the “it” they received was GRACE and love from God! My parents started with nothing ….. WORSE than poor! Yet they found hope and Salvation in Christ and they died RICH!!!!! Who’s smiling now?

Wow! What a lesson of example! Oh that ever child had such examples and would better learn these lessons than I did!

John 8 th.Chapter through verse 11 & II Corinthians 5:14

Jesus could have condemed the woman caught in adultry ...Jesus could have sinned…... BUT! His love for us and all sinners, separated him from sin. Just as when we parents love our children, even with Agape love, we cause no harm nor allow harm to come to them. If we love our children enough, we want them to receive the ETERNAL REWARD! .......Just like Bishops/Elders must feel for each individual member!

Remember! There has been ONE KING that loved enough to put his “subjects” first and to pay the ransom for all our sins!
