There is a story about an old rancher who had been “taken to the cleaners” by a local car salesman. One day the car dealer called the rancher and said he was coming out the next day to buy a cow from him. The rancher placed the following information on the cow:
Basic cow$2,000
Two-tone exterior150
Extra stomach200
Product storing comp.75
Straw chopper150
Four spigots @ $50 each200
Cowhide upholstery400
Dual horns50
Automatic fly-swatter75
Fertilizer attachment250
TOTAL COST$3,550
Those little “extras” sure do add up. But, you know, God gives us lots of extras … air to breathe, trees, grass, flowers, sun and moon, lakes, streams,’ friends, family, spiritual blessings, etc. Aren’t you glad that He doesn’t charge for the “extras”? ENJOY the “extras” and have a good day!
For His Cause,
Tim Woodward
