Back To Home Page To Archives - Spring of Life - H. Roger Bothwell My Newspaper Delivery Guy My newspaper delivery guy wants to get paid each week so he leaves me an envelope to put out for him. I don't mind because it is an easy way to use up the change I accumulate through the week and it somehow gives the illusion I'm getting a free paper since I never hand over a check or cash. On a regular basis I put in a few extra coins. It isn't much but over the course of a year it might help him. Last week just to see what would happen, I shorted him a dime. Sure enough this week he left me a note pointing out I owed him an extra ten cents. He never once left me a note telling me I put in too much. I am trying to decide whether or not in weeks to come to continue putting in extra. Most likely I will because the truth of the matter seems that God continually showers me with extras and most of the time I fail to mention to Him that I noticed. But come a shortfall, a need or a concern about the future, I make sure I tell him about it. So I don't think the way I treat God is much different from the treatment I got my paper deliverer and I certainly don't want God to stop delivering the extras. One of my favorite verses is Ephesians 2:7 where Paul speaks about God saving us so He can throughout eternity shower us with blessings. God is never stingy with us. How grand that is!
