It’s a “Fix The Pipe” Day
LORD, BLESS US AS WE LIVE TO BLESS OTHERS. AMEN.
We had a problem at church, one day with some water pipes that were leaking. The Chairman of our Trustee Board, Charles Thompson, was having a hard time finding someone to fix the problem. So after doing some praying and searching he remembered he had an old friend that did some plumbing work for him in the past. He called him, and the guy met him at the church. The guy sized up the job and said,” I’ll be right back.” When he came back, he had new piping and all kinds of supplies that were needed to fix the plumbing problem. He started the work, not saying a word as Bro Charles looked on. Well, after about 4 hours he was finished, and Bro Charles said to him, “Give me the bill so we can pay you.” The guy looked at Bro. Charles and said, “I’m not going to give you a bill for the supplies or my services. No, all that I want for the work I’ve done is for you to ask the church to pray for me and if they ask you my name just tell them, “The Man Who Fixed The Pipe!”
“If I can help somebody as I pass along….Then my living shall not be in vain.”
One day there were 4 men standing at the Pearly Gates telling St. Peter what they did on earth to gain entrance into Heaven. The first said, “Tell the LORD I preached great sermons and used big eloquent words.” After talking to the LORD St. Peter came back and said, “The LORD said HE never heard of you.” The second man said, “Tell the LORD I composed great hymns of the Church.” After conferring with The LORD, St. Peter came back and said, “The LORD said HE never heard of you.” The third man said “Tell the LORD I wrote great powerful prayers and said them in the church. Once again St. Peter went to the Lord and came back and said, “The LORD said HE never heard of you.” Finally, the fourth man came up to the Pearly Gates. He looked St. Peter straight in the eyes and said in a very humble voice, “Tell the LORD I’ve never preached a sermon, I’ve never composed a hymn nor have I written a prayer…Tell Him, Just tell HIM I’M THE MAN WHO FIXED THE PIPE!” And Gates of Heaven came wide open. May the work I’ve done speak for me? When I’ve done the best I can, and my friends don’t understand. May the work I’ve done speak for me. Beloved, what’s the work that is speaking for you?
