Thought for Today

A man sent this letter to a magazine:

Dear Sir, It seems ministers feel their sermons are very important and spend a great deal of time preparing them. I have been attending church quite regularly for thirty years, and I have probably heard 3,000 of them. To my consternation I discovered I cannot remember a single sermon. I wonder if a minister's time might be more profitably spend on something else?

For weeks a storm of editorial responses ensued...finally ended by this letter.

Dear Sir:

I have been married for thirty years. During that time I have eaten well over 30,000 meals-mostly my wife's cooking. Suddenly I have discoverd I cannot remember the menu of a single meal. And yet...I have the distinct impression that without them, I would have starved to death long ago.


I am the bread of life.

John 6:48
