Carpenter’s Tools - One Potato, Two Potato . . . .

By Pastor Wallace Phillips – June 29th, 2007

“One potato, two potato, three potato four….” Remember that one? I do. I think of it each time our ministry gives those taters’ away. We had the honor of doing so on several times in our ministry. It’s a blessing to seed individuals come into our parking lot to pick up a fifty pound sack of spuds. Everyone can use potatoes. Considering the price of gas today, I think everyone qualifies as having a need for some help with the food bill.

I thank the Lord for the opportunity that we have to be a blessing to the masses several times a year. It’s amazing to see over 40,000 pounds of potatoes given away in a couple of hours. They go like “hot cakes”. I wonder if we could give away some of them?

The Lord tells us that it is better to give than to receive. I ‘m thoroughly convinced that the blessing of the Lord is upon our ministry because we have an open hand in many ways. Just this past week we were able to bless a church with some chairs. We weren’t using them. So…we blessed a new church with some seating. One seat, two seats, three seats, four…. The blessing goes on.

What do you have that you can give to the Kingdom of God? Maybe you can evaluate your personal inventory. Liquidate some of the things that you don’t need and get them in the hands of someone who can use them. You have been given much and “to whom much is given, much is required.”

Have an awesome week and remember the blessing of the Lord. Count them one by one. One blessing, two blessings, three blessings, four . . . .

They are never-ending.
