Thou shall not steal

Can you believe it? Someone stole from the church. They dug up two hostas, a lily and a yellow rose bush and carried them off. I cannot believe it. How would you live with yourself? Every time you looked at them, you would be reminded that you were a thief. If the hostas and the lily cost $10 each and the rose bush was $20, that is a total of $50. Isn't a clear conscience worth $50? Hostas and lilys and rose bushes are perennials too. Every single year for the rest of your life, you have to remember that you stole. And from a church. I cannot believe it.

Maybe it is your neighbor. Have they been working in the yard lately? Take a look at what they have planted. If it looks like a lily, two hostas and a yellow rose, ask them if they have a church. Could be that they need one.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

I would say to them what I say to my kids. No other person may know when you lie/cheat/steal, but God knows. And He's the one you REALLY need to worry about.
