Isn’t Strange

The following I did not write and unfortunately I do not know who wrote it. I took it off a friends Facebook notes page. Though it speaks to my heart.

Isn’t it strange

how a 20 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to church,

but such a small amount when you go shopping?

Isn’t it strange

how 2 hours seem so long when you’re at church,

and how short they seem when you’re watching a good movie?

Isn’t it strange

that you can’t find a word to say when you’re praying but..

you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?

Isn’t it strange

how difficult and boring it is to read one

chapter of the Bible, but

how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?

Isn’t it strange

how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games but

they do everything possible to sit in the last row at Church?

Isn’t it strange

how we need to know about an event for Church 2-3 weeks in advance so we can include it in our agenda,

but we can make adjustments for other events at a moment’s notice?

Isn’t it strange

how difficult it is to learn a fact about God and share it with others;

but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?

Isn’t it strange

how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say but….

we question the words in the Bible?

Isn’t it strange

how everyone wants a place in heaven but…

they don’t want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?
