The Devil and the Duck - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.
He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.
He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target.

Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.
As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the
duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; onlyto see his
Sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.

After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash the dishes'
But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.'
Then she whispered to him, 'Rem em ber the duck?' So Johnny did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to
go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.'
Sally just smiled and said, 'well that's all right
because Johnny told me he wanted to help?

She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally went
fishing and Johnny stayed to help.
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's;
Finally he couldn't stand it any longer.
He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.

Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart,
I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw
the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I
was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.'

Thought for the day and every day thereafter:

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done...? And
the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying,cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger bitterness, etc.)... whatever it is..You need to know that:
Yahweh was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing.

He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He
loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering
how long you will let the devil make a slave of you
The great thing about Yahweh is that when you ask for
forgiveness; He not only forgives you, but He forgets.
It is by Yahweh's grace and mercy that we are saved.
Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today.
Share this with a friend and always remember:

Yahweh is at the window!
When Yah'shua died on the cross; he was thinking of you!
