WHOLEHEARTED

Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 11-12

"Give generously, for your gifts will return to you later." Ecclesiastes 11:1 NLT

I've worked retail for almost 29 years of my life.

The assortment of customers approaching my counter over the years if quite eclectic and varied, to say the least.

Quite varied!

But I love it!

I truly enjoy making each person feel at home, welcomed and appreciated when they are in our store.

I get to 'love on them' as I sell them paint, nails or lumber.

I am afforded the opportunity to minister to them for the length of that transaction, even when God, the Bible or morality isn't mentioned in the conversation.

I have become a better customer because of my time behind the sales counter.

Same is true of my Christian walk.

This verse reminds me of it--that I will get what I sow--I will receive what I give--I will be served in the same way I choose to serve.
