How often do you get so overwhelmed with joy to the point you cannot speak when your neighbor comes home with his own car. You know how they left their house early on a Saturday morning to do the shopping, then to come back with each child carrying a bag. You see the fatigue and the rush just to get inside the house and to rest from that long walk.
You know that feeling. You know that longing for your own car.
My neighbor came home not with the latest car on the market and definitely not with a brand new car, but with a car suitable for his family. Some might say "that is junk. Why spend money on that. Why not buy a new car first time?"
I'm saying, "It's not how you start, but how you finish." He has that awesome feeling of owning his first and the desire for the next one will be so big that he will eventually buy a brand new one.
We might not all have it together to start big, but as long as we start somewhere.
Oh man, his son was so excited for their car, he started washing it. That brought so much tears to my eyes.
Instead of us criticizing, why don't we celebrate, congratulate and show them we approve of their choice.
What happens when we live for Christ? God brings gifts of affection, compassion and love for others into our hearts, we cannot help but to be happy for others. Most importantly, we develop a willing to stick to God. We then find ourselves involved in loyal commitments and being happy for others then comes naturally.
