All welcome!
Two old friends met each other on the street one day. One looked forlorn, almost on the verge of tears. His friend asked, “What has the world done to you, my old friend?”
The sad fellow said, “Let me tell you: three weeks ago, my uncle died and left me forty thousand dollars.”
“That’s a lot of money.”
“But you see, two weeks ago, a cousin I never even knew died, and left me eighty-five thousand dollars, free and clear.”
“Sounds to me that you’ve been very blessed.”
“You don’t understand!” he interrupted. “Last week my great-aunt passed away. I inherited almost a quarter of a million from her.”
Now the man’s friend was perplexed. “Then, why do you look so glum?”
“This week . . . nothing!”
That’s a problem with receiving something regularly. Even if it is a gift, we eventually come to expect it. The natural tendency is that if we receive a gift long enough, we view it almost as an entitlement. We feel hurt, even angry if we no longer receive it.

November Memory Verses
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
