That's Excellent

I remember the days of being infatuated with a little girl in 3rd grade. Her name was April! Her mother always dressed her in frilly girly dresses. She had my eye and my heart. I was in love! The only thing that was wrong was she had no idea that I felt that way. I wanted to tell her but the words just wouldn't come out. I spent some time trying to impress her. Dressing nice and combing my hair. I wanted her to notice me. I did everything that a 3rd grader could think of to get her attention. Well,Valentines Day was my opportunity to show her my true feelings. I had my mother take me to get a special card. Not one of those Scooby-Doo ones like I would give the rest of the class but one that expressed my true love and intention. The teacher had each student make their Valentine mail box and decorate it to show the value of the cards that would be received. Every Student got a card from every student. Wow! The day came for the exchange. I anticipated what she would say about my card. It was frilly and pretty just like her. But I heard nothing, after the cards were all opened she didn't even look my way. I saved her Valentine card as my last to open hoping for a gush of her inter most feelings for me. I slowly opened the card and read, "Be Mine" and in her own handwriting she wrote... Robfart! It was one of two things either she was telling me that she didn't have feelings for me or she was really not very good at spelling.



What would happen if we set out to be excellent for God? If we would dress nicely and comb our hair and think about Him all the time? If we could apply this type of excellence to service for Him. Being excellent in our worship, our service, in His commission for us. Do you think He would take notice? Oh that's right He already has taken notice. He loved us so much that He sent His son to die for us. Wow that is a whole lot better than Robfart. Let's strive for excellence in everything we do for Him. From the way your church looks to the way you prepare your sermon or lessons to the way you represent Him where ever you go. That's excellent.



Yours Truly!
