Lessons From A Church Breakfast

A pig and a chicken were walking down the road. They came upon a church sign which was advertising a fellowship breakfast that weekend: “Ham and eggs will be served from 8:00am-10:00am.” The chicken turned to the pig and exclaimed, "Well isn’t that wonderful! Even farm animals like us can help the work of the church!” "Yes," said the pig, "but yours is only a contribution. Mine is a total sacrifice.” That funny little story about the pig illustrates a serious biblical truth –that Jesus really does call his followers to give up everything (Luke 14:33). But how do we live that out? One practical way is to prayerfully consider giving anything we “own” back to God to bless our church or ministries such as Holland Rescue Mission - such as stock, real estate, retirement assets, life insurance, grain, business interests, and tangible personal property.
