There was a little boy visiting his grandparents
on their farm.
He was
given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.
He practiced in the woods; but he could
never hit the target.
Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

As he was walking
back he saw Grandma’s pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot
fly, hit the duck square in
the head and killed it. He was shocked and
grieved!
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see
his
sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After
lunch the next day Grandma said, "Sally, let’s w ash the dishes"
But Sally
said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen."
Then she
whispered to him, "Remember the duck?"
So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa
asked if the children wanted to go fishing and
Grandma said, "I’m sorry but I
need Sally to help make supper."
Sally just smiled and s aid, "Well that’s
all right because Johnny told
me he wanted to help" She whispered again,
"Remember the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.
After
several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally’s; he
finally couldn’t
stand it any longer.
He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the
duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, "Sweetheart, I know. You
see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing,

but because I love
you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a
slave of you."
Thought for the day and every day
thereafter?

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done…

And the devil keeps
throwing it up in your face
(lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger,
bitterness, etc.) …whatever it is…You need to know that
God was standing
at the window and He saw the whole thing.
He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that

He loves you and
that you are forgiven.
He’s just wondering how long you will let the devil

make a slave of
you.
The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness;

He not only
forgives you, but He forgets.
It is by God’s grace and mercy that we are
saved.

Go ahead
and make the difference in someone’s life today.
