Instead of a Sunday Sermon from me, I am referring a post called “Robbing God” posted by stainedmythespirit. A fantastic perspective of robbing God that goes beyond tithes and offerings – or time, talent, fasting, or anything else I had ever considered. https://stainedbythespirit.wordpress.com/2022/03/26/robbing-god/#like-6341
FROM MY BITS AND PIECES POT:
Sign in hotel lobby: The manager personally passed all the water served here.
Sign in religious artifacts store: If you are interested In life after death, try robbing this store.
Sign in cocktail lounge: All women are requested not to have children in the bar.
Sign in dry cleaners: Drop your pants here.

Caught by conscience in my sin, I drag myself before your face
And all my shame shouts out my guilt and calls for condemnation.
But as your eyes read all in mine and neither blink nor charge
I hear the call of stones un-thrown and weep in my salvation.
(Ann Cole, Decision Magazine)

Still He goes on loving me, loving me all the time
I have wounded him, his patience tried
Spurned his tenderness, his name denied
But still He goes on loving me, loving me all the time.
(Frank Houghton, Decision Magazine)

In 1993, Evelyn Noestmo lost her ring as she and her husband tried to push their car out of a snow drift. Three years later she was cooking moose entrails as a treat for their dog. In those entrails was her lost ring with its distinctive crack which caused it to fall off in the first place. (taken from unidentified AP newspaper article)

Wishing you all a joyous Sunday. This is unusual kind of Sunday post, but if you took my advice and read the article by “stainedbythespirit” you have added to your Sunday blessings.
The poems from Decision Magazine magazine were from years ago. I have no idea of how to give the authors credit they are due.
You have a wonderful sense of humor. That must be why I love you so much. That and your love for God.
Thank you, Kathy. We have walked a long time with Jesus, and share a lot of experiences.
Thanks Oneta for reading my post and sharing it. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and the LORD blesses you greatly! Oh and I saw something here too that I wanted to share that I thought was just so kind. A lady talked about a kindness jar. She said every time someone was unkind to her she put money in a jar and then when it was full she went out and bought something nice for someone. She said it was her way of turning bad into good. I thought that was a great thing. I am gonna do it! Her blog is marlagro, God Stories for me. Yippee
That’s a wonderful idea. I would add putting money in when I have been unkind also. You know the kind of times when I leave a store then realize I had been rude or thoughtless in some way. Maybe to another customer who was in the aisle or muttering about another driver. My jar might fill up faster than I expected.
That is wonderful Oneta….I will do that too and yes you are right it might just fill up faster…I know I am impatient at the best of times…..GOD BLESS and have a great day!
Got my blessing from the laughter! 😂
A wonderful way to be blessed.
