A Tale of Two Women

 A Tale of Two Women

A rich socialite had a maid work for her for many years. The maid went to church often and gave liberally while the rich socialite went only occasionally and gave just as occasionally.

Eventually the maid died and a few years later so did the socialite.

When the socialite got to heaven St. Peter greeted her and wake her to her mansion. As they passed a huge mansion St. Peter told her, “That big mansion belongs to the maid who worked for you.”

The socialite got excited to see her own mansion!

As they walked further they got to a much smaller mansion. “This is your mansion,” St. Peter said.

The socialite, confused, asked St. Peter, “Why is my mansion so small compared to my maid’s?”

He replied, “We did the best we could do with what you sent up.”

2 Corinthians 5:10 says,

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

Romans 14:12 says,

So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.

What will you have to give an account for?

Did you pray, “Thy kingdom come” but did little to help make it so?

This isn’t just about giving money to aid the spread of the Gospel but of giving of your time, talent, giftings, prayers and personally sharing the Good News with those who haven’t heard.

Finally, Ephesians 5:16 reminds you to...

Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
