PIG

I have a strange question to ask this morning. If I were to ask you which of these animals you were most like wonder which one you would choose? There is the Chicken, the Cow and the Pig; which are you most like? Before you choose let me tell you a story. One day the Chicken had a wonderful idea. He decided that it would be just wonderful if they could do something for the fine folks down at the Church. He said I know, it would be real nice if we were to fix them a breakfast one Saturday. The Chicken said I'll give the eggs and then he asked the Cow if she would be so kind as to give the milk. She said, "I'll be glad to do that." Then the Chicken asked the Pig if he would be kind enough to supply the bacon and sausage. The Pig replied, "Wait a minute you two have agreed to give but you are asking me to commit." I am afraid there are many like the Chicken and the Cow and very few like the Pig. There are some who just have a wonderful idea but never plan to add any labor to their idea. There are also those who are willing to give of their abundance but that is all. Now the Pig in the story gave more than an idea and much more than from his abundance. He would have been the only one committed to the breakfast. Marriages break up because one or both partners only think of themselves which in return show no commitment. It is always easy to give advice and give away what we have so much of, but commitment that is another story. It will cost you time and money and it will cause you to become selfless instead of selfish. Commitment will teach you patience and it will also teach you to watch what and how you say things to others. Zig Ziglar says if we learn to give people what they want we will find that in the process we will get what we need. In the book of Ephesians chapter five and in verse 25 we read
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Notice what it didn't say, Husband love your wife as they love you. Oh no love your wife like Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it. I am convinced that if a husband will love their wife as Christ loved the Church and be willing to give themselves to their wife we would see fewer divorces in our land. While we were yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Which animal are you? The Chicken with wonderful idea's but no commitment. The Cow with the abundance but still no commitment, or the Pig that is willing to commit to the job before them or the man or woman they are married to. The son, the daughter; or are you just willing to commit to yourself the things you enjoy and the things that make you happy? I hope there are more pigs reading this than chickens and cows. How can you know? Ask yourself this question who is most important and that will tell you how much pig is in you.
