A Thought For Tuesday
Bobby Simpson October 30, 2007 Copyright Higher Ground 2007
Our interim pastor told a terrific story a week ago and I want to share it with you because it applies to softball, baseball, other sports, business, math classes, and life in general. He said that a small child in the western part of Africa gave a very beautiful shell to a missionary as an offering. Knowing that the shell came from a beach quite far from the village, the missionary said "You had to walk 15-20 miles roundtrip to the beach site to get this shell. That's a very long walk," The little boy replied, "Long walk part of gift." Too often, we want to get something valuable and not pay the price. We want "something for nothing." We want the free lunch, the magic pill, the drive-through, microwave, zappable success. We must realize that success normally comes from a sacrificial, long-walk journey and not from some instantized magic. Gods gift of talent that we see in skilled performances come from the long walk and dedication we have to make and to obtain our goals and dreams.
