A rich man was standing on the balcony of his hotel room
when he looked down and saw a beggar standing below. He took out his wallet and
threw down a 1 dollar bill. When the beggar saw it he picked it up. This went
on for quite a while with the rich man dropping down 1 dollar bills and the
beggar picking up. What surprised the rich man was that, not once did the
beggar look up to see where the money was coming from. Then the rich man had a
thought, he filled a bucket with cold water, went back to the balcony and threw
the water down at the beggar. At that the beggar looked up to see who had
poured the water on him – angry of course.
May I not be one of those people who forget about God,
ignoring or neglecting Him when the blessings are flowing and life is good. It shouldn’t
take problems for me to look up to Him and acknowledge Him. When it’s good and when its not- it doesn’t matter
may I still look to Him.
This is a summarized version of the story that someone
shared with us at church. I think it nicely summarizes how fickle we can be. Food
for thought indeed.
True...
