COMMENTARY PEARL

   I have a challenge for you. Start this 
day by asking, Whom can I help today? Which 
person can I encourage? Who needs a little 
sunshine? 
   Maybe the new employee who occupies the 
cubicle down the hail. Or the neighbor whose 
Chihuahua wanders into your yard. Or your teacher. The 
one who sucks lemons for breakfast and devours 
students for lunch. Look for ways to lift her 
spirits, brighten her day, compliment her, understand 
her, thank her. Will the world be different 
because you tried? 
   You bet your sweet September it will.
   You will become the equivalent of an ice 
cream truck in your world. An ice cream truck used 
to visit my childhood neighborhood. When I 
heard the clanking music of the truck, I knew what 
to do. I wasn't alone. Kids came from 
everywhere. They pedaled their bikes or just ran like 
crazy. The ice cream truck was in the 
neighborhood. 
   Be that ice cream truck. Be the person 
that people are glad to see. 
   And see if you aren't the one smiling the 
most. [You Can Count On God by Max Lucado] 

COMMENTARY

A careful owner of a vineyard watches with 
great attention for signs of budding fruit. He has 
spent months tilling, fertilizing, pruning, 
watering, and testing. And now he is expecting his 
vines to bear big, luscious, prize-winning grapes. 
Dont think the Almighty is any less meticulous. 
He wants you to bear much fruit. He notices 
every time you sow seeds in the lives of others. 
He keeps tabs every time you water that seed 
with prayer. He records it in your balance sheet 
when He observes faith flowering and fruit 
ripening in the life of someone in whom you have 
invested for Jesus sake. If they are rewarded, you 
reap. If they are lifted up, you are raised with 
them. Be vigilant about people in your spheres of 
influence. You are sowing seeds; your prayers are 
having an impact; and the Lord of the vineyard is 
paying close attention. Lord, I see so clearly 
today that my life in You is all about investing 
in others. If I lose my life for Your sake, I 
find it as never before! Please show me how to 
invest wisely, giving my words, my time, my 
specific prayers, my concern, my full attention, my 
practical help, my smiles of encouragement, and the 
love that is rooted in You. [Joni Eareckson Tada
