------------------------------
Gift
A missionary who had served in a remote part of Central
America for years was retiring and returning to the U.S.,
and word had gotten out to the people of the region.
The nationals desired to honor her for all her years of
service with a public celebration. News of the party
went to all parts of the country that had been touched

even though it was a four day journey over mountainous
terrain. But he was determined to present a gift to this
woman.
The gift consisted of just two coconuts, but it was all
the man could bring. The missionary recognized him and
knew where he lived, and just how far he had traveled.
"Brother," she said respectfully, "I cannot believe you
would walk so far to present me with this gift."

"God did!"
I was pleased that the children seemed to quickly learn
that God made everything.
The lessons at home weren't going so well. I had tried
repeatedly to get my daughter to pick up her toys when
she was done with them, and she just wasn't learning this
very quickly at all.
One day I walked into the living room to find toys scat-

made this mess?!"
My daughter looked at me, beamed a proud smile, and
exclaimed, "God
