... left over stickers

A few days ago I arrived home from a relief trip to the Middle East. We had been told in the middle of the trip- "If you feel tired, that's good. In a short trip like this, you want to feel at the end that you gave everything you could, spent it all"

I had brought some stickers for the kids we would see. I gave them out slowly..paced them.  I had a good handful left but kept forgetting to give them out and told myself each day, "tomorrow I will give these away."  Well, I forgot and as we packed up to go home, I felt regret looking down at the leftovers…useless to me now. They were meant to be given away. 

In the end, they are just stickers. But it's a good lesson on life and eternity.  The things I have been given are meant to be poured out and spent for his glory. At the end, how many people have an abundance of leftovers because they didn't run the race to win. They were not all in and all out.

At the end of my life, I don't want any regrets about leftover stickers…
