A mother wanted to teach her daughter a moral lesson.

She gave the girl a quarter and a dollar for church.

"Put whichever one you want in the collection plate and keep the other for yourself," she told the girl.

Sunday, when they were coming out of the church, the mother asked her daughter which amount she had given.

"Well," said the little girl, "I was going to give the dollar, but just before the collection the preacher said that God loves a cheerful giver. I knew I'd be a lot more cheerful if I gave the quarter, so that's what I did."

 "A lot of hard work is hidden behind nice things."

My wife's family and I were at a Harding University football game. Every time someone carried the ball or made a tackle, the announcer would broadcast who had made the play.

Near the beginning of the third quarter after the announcer called a play, my niece Madison looked up at my wife and innocently asked, "Is that God talking?"

"There are two types of people ... those who come into a room and say, "Well, here I am!" and those who come in and say, "Ah, there you are!"
