What is Our Pouch Filled With?




Wow! Are we missing those small little fleck of gold?  lets see!

Just as the young prospector was blinded by searching for gold nuggets so heavy he couldn't carry them, we too meet people who are "blinded" by the busyness of life. There are those people who are like the old man and help others when in need. They take the time to teach and love those who they meet. The old man was very wise and was persistent to help, show, lead, and guide his new friend in finding the gold that would make him rich. The older man taught, and as he did, the young man began to enjoy the exact same activity; only now, because of his friend, he was finding the gold that made the situation worth it.
How can we share what we know with others to help them enjoy this life, and the many different situations it brings? A challenge this week to all the readers is to try and be a teacher, just as this old prospector was, to someone who is feeling down about their "river with no gold."
 I promise that you will be able to find someone in the next few weeks that you can help see their gold in their river. You might be able to do this by showing them the gold you have already found. Show that it is not necessarily all nuggets, but small flecks! I would love for you to share your experience on the Facebook page:Called to Serve.
