"Minute Messages" - Word for Life World Ministries

My wife is an avid garage sale shopper. Who knows what you will find at the next sale? She especially enjoys doing this when we are out of town. We do not get to many garage sales because we are not familiar with the area. However, it is fun to go to see what treasure you will find for next to nothing. One thing that we noticed when we go out is that in many, if not most, areas we see a number of children’s toys for sale, toys that are still nearly new. Most of them had hardly any signs of use on them. You want to ask, “Is there anything you do not buy for your children?” Have they ever heard the word no? Friday was referred to as “Black Friday.” It is the day after Thanksgiving in which people turn their attention to making a purchase of some item they cannot live without. Stores prepare for this day because for them it will either make or break them. People have been known to get up as early as 3:00 A.M. to be the first to make a purchase. But, do you really need that item, or will it become another toy in your collection? How can we tell our children “no” if we cannot tell ourselves no? Come visit with us Sunday.
