This Meal's On Us!

Used my first "This Meal's On Us!" card at McDonald's today.  I ended up paying for three quarter pounders (one for me), three large drinks, (one for me), and two medium fries, (one for me).  Overall, I paid about $25.00.  When I looked back at the lady in the green Monte Carlo, she was waving to me with a big smile on her face.

My church gave these out a card that says "This Meal's On Us!" on the front and information for the church on the back.  The congregation is suppose to pay the meal for someone either in the restaurant or at the drive-thru.

Kindness goes a long way.

From Pastor Mark Daniels' June 6th Sermon

"I’ve mentioned before the woman who approached me after worship one Sunday in a former

 congregation. She was upset with the words of Psalm 111:10: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom...” (The same words appear also in Proverbs 1:7 and 9:10.)    

 

She affected that voice that some people use when trying to show their piety and said, “I don’t think that we should be afraid of God.” Look, Jesus says that we are His friends when we keep or strive to honor His commandments. He promises to stick closer to us than a brother."

Read this carefully

"But Jesus, God in the flesh, is not our buddy, not our rabbit’s foot, nor our ATM, nor our good luck charm.

He will be there to judge us at the end of history.

Paraphrasing Bill Cosby’s Cliff Huxtable, Jesus brought us into this world and He can take us out."
