DUCK AND THE DEVIL

 

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.

He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.

 

 

He Practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target.

Getting

A little discouraged, he headed back for dinner. As he was

Walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.

 

Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck

Square in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved.

 

In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see

His sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.

 

After lunch the next day Grandma said, " Sally, let's wash the

Dishes. " But Sally said, " Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help

in

The kitchen. " Then she whispered to him, " Remember the duck ? " So

Johnny did the dishes.

 

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go

Fishing and Grandma said, " I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make

Supper. " Sally just smiled and said, " Well that's all right because

Johnny told

Me he wanted to help. " She whispered again, " Remember the duck? " So

Sally

Went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.

 

After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's,

He finally couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and

confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him

a hug, and said, " Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at

the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I

forgave you. I was just wondering how long

You would let Sally make a slave of you . "

 

 

Thought for the day and every day thereafter?

 

 

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... And the devil

Keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad

Habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.) ....whatever it is....You

need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the

whole thing..... He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know

that He loves you and that you are forgiven .

 

 

He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave

Of you.

 

 

The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness, He

Not only forgives you, but He forgets . It is by God's grace and

Mercy that we are saved .

 

 

Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today. Share

This with a friend and always remember:

 

 

God is at the window.
