Reflections Along the Jesus Way
October 1, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“There’s a story about an older gentleman who owned a classic Cadillac about the length of a small yacht that illustrates the deep divides in our society. The old man was trying to carefully back his ‘boat’ into a parking place when a teenager zipped in with a little ‘Smart’ car and stole the parking place.
The teenager, who had not been taught to respect seniors, jumped out of his little car and said, ‘You’ve got to be young and quick to zip in and out of parking places, Pop.’ The senior citizen continued to back up his massive Cadillac, rolling over the mini-electric car like a tank, crunching it into a total wreck. He smiled at the shocked young man, ‘And you have to be old and rich to be able to do just what I did, son.’ As hard as it is for us to fathom, God really does love the whole world. He loves the ones who drive little electric cars and those who pilot their gas-guzzling battleships around parking lots. He loves young and old, rich and poor… he loves us. The world is not perfect, and, in terms of his love, that’s OK with God. Come to think of it, you and I are not perfect, and in terms of his love, that’s OK with God too!”
