Yesterday we went and put a roof on for a brother. We are very blessed here in the sense that we have so much talent, and each uses that talent for others. It helps us in so many ways. Thank God for each one. I appreciate Bro. David Laywell he has been a big help to me since they moved here. I appreciate the fact that he is always ready to help. After we got finished for the day at the brothers house, sis Teresa and I went to Rutherfordton to look for stuff for our room addition. Lord willing in about a month I will be building us a garage with a bedroom on the top. I have really tried to shop smart in looking for what we need for the project. I have bought a lot of stuff off of craigslist and got great deals. I only paid $62 a piece for our windows and they are low E gas, with tilt sash, and a round top. They are really beautiful. I thank God for the good deal. Well I got to thinking about that, and see what happens with some folks is, when it comes to being a Christian, they want God to give them a good deal. They want to pay less than the cost of what it is really worth, and though that is ok in carnal things to try and get a good deal, it don’t work with God. God don’t have second hand merchandise, discontinued, out of date, damaged, scratch and dent, as is, or any other wheel and deal items we want to get from the Lord. You don’t wheel and deal with God. You know the old saying, “you get what you pay for” that is so true. I don’t mind paying a fair price for something that is worth it. You know the shame of it is, it is not a fair price God offers us! That’s right, God gave more for this thing than we could every pay, but He does want us to give Him a reasonable offer. What’s that, PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE!!!! I have some counsel for us today, don’t wheel and deal with God, you will never get a better offer anywhere in the world.
