The Best Gift Ever
Cal Jernigan
Proverbs 31
Big Idea: Unexpressed gratitude is simply ingratitude.
1) Opening Comments:
a) Welcome to all, on all campuses
b) Great to have you with us this week...
i) But I want to remind you not to miss next week
ii) We will have special guest, Michael Jr.
iii) Summit Sunday... Be here! Get Registered for the Summit!
2) First Things First
a) I need to tell you something about when I grew up...
i) My family was incredibly well off...
ii) I hope that you won't look at me differently... but we were very fortunate
iii) Our family had a maid... yes, a maid.
(1) Someone who was provided for us to meet our every whim and wish.
(2) And, like most people who had maids growing up... we took her for granted and we took advantage of her.
(3) This maid would do the cooking, clean the house including picking up after us, do our laundry, we even talked her into driving us wherever we needed to go.
(4) As hard as this is to believe, we could even talk her into giving us money. If all fairness, though, she did this only when she felt it was necessary or good for us.
(5) When we were sick she would take care of us, even carting us to the doctor when necessary.
iv) Yes, we had a maid... BTW... we didn't call her this, we called her ''mom.''
(1) But only because she WAS our mom.
(2) Actually she was mom first... then ''maid''
(3) On second thought... your home was probably very much like the one I grew up in.
(4) My kids have grown up with a Maid also.
v) Today is the day that we stop and appreciate how BLESSED WE HAVE BEEN, and how seldom we've ever stopped to appreciate it!
b) So this weekend is about Mothers Day!
c) Let's pull out...
i) Our Bibles --- Proverbs 31
ii) Our Journals
(1) Title: The Best Gift Ever
(a) We're going to talk today about gratitude
(b) Gratitude is simply saying ''thanks''
(2) Big Idea: Unexpressed gratitude is simply ingratitude.
3) And Just What Is ...
