The 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.
