“So today after church I’m filling up our dispenser for the olive oil to go in..and all the while I begin to think about this preacher years ago that begins to give a metaphor..asking the congregation if they were a bucket filler or we’re they the ones in whom constantly dipped from the bucket taking from it other than giving to it?

“But the whole meaning behind it all was what type of person are you?..the preacher went on to saying..in other wards are you a giver in this thing we all call life or are you a taker?..Amen..so anyways today that is my question too us all..are we fillers?..Amen..are we those people that look around us and keep a watchful eye over the ones in whom are around us?..do we pay attention to the needs of others?..do we see with that spiritual eye as we are looking out and about in our every day life?

“Are we looking with eyes as the Lord does?..Amen..because you see guys the Lord uses us to help others..Amen..He uses us to be His hands and feet..He uses us to fill others buckets in their lives..Amen..because God gives us so many wonderful gifts and talents in this life..and there not just meant to be stored up for ourselves..or just our families and close friends..Amen

“But there meant to reach out in our community..in our workplaces..in the grocery store..wherever in the world we are..we are to be that filler..Amen..we are to be those ones in whom give life because we have LIFE!!!..John 14:6..AMEN..we have the Lord of Glory living on the inside of us..Praise His name

“So be that person that God has called for you to be..don’t just take from others..or always expect others to give to you..but you give to them..whatever it is that you have to give..whether that would be your encouragement that God has gifted you with..1 Corinthians 12:28/Ephesians 4:11-16..could be helping..maybe some wisdom..maybe guidance..a hug..a kind word..Amen..so today my prayer and my heart for us all is that we use what God our Father has given to us.

“And that we keep a watchful open eye..that we pay attention..and that we care more than anything for everyone..not just few..but all..Amen..and that we are fillers in life..that we go about as our Lord did doing good wherever it was that He went..Acts 10:38..Amen..helping others to keep their lamps so to speak filled up..their oil overflowing with every good thing that it is that they may be needing..Matthew 25:1-13..Amen

“For once again I am going to say to us all..be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle..Amen..so be the best that you can be for Jesus..loving and sharing His goodness..His mercy and His unending and marvelous grace..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
