Seeking After the Son The upstate New York man was rich in almost every way. His estate was worth millions. He owned houses, land, antiques and cattle. But though on the outside he had it all, he was very unhappy on the inside. His wife was growing old, and the couple was childless. He had always wanted a little boy to carry on the family legacy. Miraculously, his wife became pregnant in her later years, and she gave birth to a little boy. The boy was severely handicapped, but the man loved him with his whole heart. When the boy was 5, his mom died. The dad drew closer to his special son. At age 13, the boys birth defects cost him his life and the father died soon after from a broken heart. The estate was auctioned before hundreds of bidders. The first item offered was a painting of the boy. No one bid. They waited like vultures for the riches. Finally, the poor housemaid, who helped raise the boy, offered $5 for the picture and easily took the bid. To everyones shock, the auctioneer ripped a handwritten will from the back of the picture. This is what it said: To the person who thinks enough of my son to buy this painting, to this person I give my entire estate. The auction was over. The greedy crowd walked away in shock and dismay. How many of us have sought after what we thought were true riches only to find out later that our Father was prepared to give us his entire estate if we had only sought after his Son alone?

Psalm 69:5 Two More Sundays to Collect for Annie Armstrong! WLBCs Goal: $8,000 Given so far: $6,907 (NIV) You know my folly, O God; my guilt is not hidden from you.

1 John 3:8 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and truth.

Dont Miss Your Chance to Bless and Be Blessed...The Needs are Many

Pure Water, Pure Love Given so Far: $539.39 Did you Know?
In dirty water, you can find cholera, e-coli, hepatitis A, Salmonella & typhoid. 3.4 million people die each year from water-related diseases. A child dies every 20 seconds from drinking dirty water. 780 million people lack access to a clean water source. A 5 minute shower uses more water than the average person in a developing country uses in an entire day.

* Give so that others can live by having opportunity to drink clean water.
