“Minute of Meditation: I DONE IT FOR LOVE”
One Saturday night, a Christian widow and mother, very busy with house-hold chores, asked her seven-year-old son to polish her shoes. He worked hard on them. Later in the evening, he brought the clean, newly polished shoes to her. She was so pleased she rewarded him with a new, shiny dime.
The next morning, as she prepared for church services, the mother started to put the shoes on. As she slipped her foot in one of them, she noticed a lump in it. Taking the shoe off, she found the dime wrapped in paper. Written on the paper, in her son’s childish scrawl were these simple words, “I done it for love.” - Bulletin Digest
This prompts a question for us all. What have we done for love recently?
- Have you helped your spouse with the children?
- Have you given clothes to a person in need?
- Have you visited those in the hospital?
- Have you done some work without expecting pay?
Remember what Jesus stated, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:35).
I am Mark T. Tonkery with a minute of meditation from the Camden Ave. church of Christ where you are always welcome.
