Learning To Share

This was the topic of our Sunday Bulletin and I would like to share it with you. It does not say who wrote it and I am claiming I did not write it and I am just making a copy of it.

We teach our children at an early age the importance of sharing. It is considered one of the socialization skills necessary for good development. As we grow older our sharing changes. Instead of toys and games we share our money, time, and talents where they are needed. But we often have difficulty sharing our most valuable resource-the message of salvation and God's love. We encounter those who need to hear it, but because of our busy schedules, insecurities, or even embarrassment, we fail to share the life-giving news Jesus commanded. "Go home to thy friends,and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee" (Mark 5:19) Have we learned to share?
