There was a Pastor that preached about service by telling his congregation that he served the needy every Saturday. However, each Saturday, instead of serving the needy, he played golf. St. Peter and God were watching the fella, and Peter said something along the lines of, "Yo God, you gotta punish him for that!" And God was like, "Chill dude, I got this." So the next Saturday, when the Pastor, he got a hole in one... every. Single. Hole. The Pastor was amazed! Peter was annoyed. He was like, "What? This is not a punishment. He enjoyed that!" God replied:
There are a lot of experiences, places, and materials that I enjoy. I am so lucky and thankful to have what I have. But more than that, I am thankful for the people I love.
"Yeah, but who is he going to tell?"
These things I have aren't blessings by themselves. It's through sharing these things and experiences with my friends and family that I experience joy.
Much love and and many thanks to the people in my life. Without you, the things I have mean nothing. You bring significance to everything I experience.
With Love,
~Jean
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing"
