The Well

“I HAVE BEEN SINKING MY BUCKET DOWN THE WELL VERY FREQUENTLY, BUT NOW MY THIRST AFTER JESUS HAS BECOME SO INSATIABLE, THAT I LONG TO PUT THE WELL ITSELF UP TO MY LIPS AND DRINK FROM IT.” – One in days gone by

“DO ONE THING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY EVERY DAY,” said the placard I saw in a shop at MANGONUI today. Some things we do make us happy and some things we do make us unhappy.

Today I did one thing that made me really unhappy and one thing that made me really happy. Let me tell you about it.

For lunch I bought some dry buns, because I felt like eating buns. There were three in the packet. Not much of the  third bun was left in my hand, when a dog was after me wanting what was left.  Although the owner of the dog yelled at the dog, the dog did not listen. Eventually I threw the remains of the precious bun to the dog. The owner of the  pet was very apologetic. All that made me very unhappy.

But I did also one thing today that made me very happy. Two people, one standing and one sitting on a chair, were on the wharf at Mangonui fishing. When talking to them, I told them also what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for me. We had quite a long conversation.

But I don’t think I do deliberately things that make me unhappy.
