Parable Learning

  We are Children of The Most High God. He is our Maker, Father, Lord, Provider, He is everything to us. He is the great creator of all. That being said, I want to tell you a story here. A man had a wife and four children. He was a wealthy man, and was old in age. He had four businesses that thrived well. A Bakery, Winery, Potato Farm and a chain of Antique Stores. Seeing that he was old in age, and feeble in health he decided to split his wealth with his four children. One took over the Bakery, another over the Winery, the Potato Farm and another over the Antique Stores. Years passed and the Wealthy Man died. The businesses and wealth fell upon his four Children. 

 Now the one with the Bakery had turned the business into 50% profit, 50% charity. For seeing the bulk of profit, his heart felt heavy and he felt lead to give back. The Potato Farmer had seen a large increase in yield, and began giving extra potatoes to the poor families. 

The Wine-Maker seeing large gains of monetary collection from the strong drinks being sold globally, decided he would open two Nightclubs and hire female dancers to boost his profit even higher. The Antique Dealer found a supply of damaged or seemingly perfect furniture for rock-bottom pricing. He bought the entire load of antique furniture, and seemingly antique items, replicas and reproductions. Took them to his shop and done some aesthetic work to the items. He sold everyone of them, and decided to use the money to open Liqour Stores. 

 Years later, their mother died and the economy was declining. The Wine-Maker was shot in the head by an angry patron of the Nightclubs he opened. He went before the judgement seat and was sent away. Months later the Antique Dealer was mugged outside a shop, because someone had caught onto his scams. He died and went before the Judgment seat, and was sent away. 


 To this day The Baker and The Potato Farmer still run their businesses, giving to the poor, sharing with the hungry, giving hope to the children who are less fortunate. Blessed is their crop and production, blessed is their health and prosperity, for they followed the Lords commandments and loved not the money, and gave not into Greed. 


 Let me remind you, The Lord gives us opportunities to both bless other people and ourselves. To better our situation and the situation of others. But if we take that opportunity for granted and get greedy for our own gain, then the Lord will take that opportunity away from you. When Blessed, we should bless others. When we have the extra, we should spare to others. 


 Remember, Do Unto Others As You'd Have Them Do Unto You.
