If you travel to the beach in the
Wilmington area, you probably will see the USS North Carolina along the highway
just outside of town. When I was in the
first grade, the campaign began to try to bring the USS North Carolina back to
the Tar Heel state instead of selling it for scrap metal. As I recall, the late Hugh Morton was one of
the leaders in the fund raising campaign.
I am certain that there were persons and companies that gave large sums
of money to bring the USS North Carolina home.
However, I am also certain that there were persons that gave small sums of money
because I was one of those persons. If my memory is correct, I gave a grand total
of ten cents to the USS North Carolina fund-raising campaign by collecting
discarded soft drink bottles along the roadside and getting money for the
bottles at the store.
Deuteronomy
16: 17 says, “Every one shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of
the Lord your God which he has given you.”
Some can give large gifts of money, and others give small gifts of
money. What I know is if all of us will
simply give as we are able, then God can take it and use it for His honor and
his glory. Have a joy-filled week.- Pastor Randy Wall
PRAYER
O
God, we give thanks that the Lord Jesus gave the greatest gift he could give
for our salvation- His very life. Stir
in our hearts that we might always give as we are able to the work of your
Kingdom; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
