THE GREEDY DOG AND THE BONE! But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6 [NIV] A dog crossing a bridge over a stream with a bone in his mouth. As it crossed, the dog saw its own shadow—and the reflection of the bone!—in the water. Give me that bone! the dog barked, jumping into the stream. But as soon as he had opened his mouth to bark at the other dog, his own bone fell from his mouth and dropped into the stream, where it was quickly washed away. It took some time for the dog to notice that his treasure was gone, because he was so busy barking at the other dog. Eventually, it began to dawn on him that he was not coming any closer to winning. So he climbed back up on shore and shook himself off. When he realised his bone was gone, he climbed back on the bridge, and looked down at the other dog. The other dogs bone was gone as well? “If you dont value what you have, youre sure to lose it.” The dog lost the bone because he envied another imaginary dog! Sometimes, it is better to be satisfied with what you have, and not to chase after shadows! Refuse to envy others and their blessing. To find fulfillment in life you must learn how to jealously guard what God has given you! Value what you have and you will get more than you have! Be Bless! Be Inspired!
