The Sermon on the Amount

This last weekend i went to a conference and heard a very intersting story trhat I thought I would share with you.

A man once walked into an airport cafeteria pretty hungry. So he bought bag of doughnuts and some coffee and tried to get a seat for himself. However the place was mad full so he ended up sitting with another lone man. He therefore sat down and placed his stuff on the floor next to his sit, sat down and started having his coffee.
He picked the doughnut bag of the table picked out a doughnut and ate it. A few minutes later the man across from him picked the bag took out a doughnut and ate it. So the first man thought very strange........ but just to be polite he let it slide.
He then picked the doughnut bag, picked out another doughnut and this time placed it right next to his cofee. A few minutes later the man across form him stretched out his hand pulled over the bag across picked out a doughnut and ate it. The first man thought aii wassup with this dude lakini he must be mad so I'll let him by. So they kept doing this doughnut eating thing until there was only one doughnut left in the bag.

First man was thinkin aii does this jamaa have the nerve to eat the last one of my doughnuts? Anyway the other man promptly picked up the last doughnut cut in two and gave him one half of the doughnut.He then stood up and walked away.

Typical thought the first man eat all my doughnuts and leave.After a while he finished his coffee and made to leave the cafeteria. As he bent down to pick his bags, he saw his bag of doughnuts sitting on top of the his bags.

The other man was actually sharing his doughnuts. Its the same in life.Everything we have is gift from God and he is just sharing his wealth with us. Lets be willing to share our doughnuts too.
