Living with a purpose

Ed McManus, editor of The Jokesmith newsletter, has put out a booklet of humor about folks in human resources. It's called What is a Human Resource? and in it, he explains how people get assigned to particular jobs.  You leave them in a conference room for four hours. Then, you go back to see what they're doing.
If they don't look up when you enter the room, assign them to the Security Department. If they're counting the butts in the ashtray, put them in Finance. If they've taken the table apart, put them in Engineering. If they're screaming and waving their arms, send them off to Manufacturing. And if they've left early, put them in Sales.

Mark 6:43 - And the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

Our God is the smartest. When He creates something or someone, He always has a purpose. God doesn't like wasting things away. After feeding the 5000 with fish and bread everyone was so happy. But the plenty that came should not go waste. So it was collected and it came up to 12 baskets. Probably it could be used on the way or can be given to the poor or something could be done with it always.

    Many of us in the body of Christ have termed ourselves useless. Maybe it's, because of our negative attitude and perhaps lazy nature. Its high time that we realize that God has created us for a purpose and let's be at it. As we continue in the presence of God and in the things of God, we shall surely get an idea of what we ought to be doing in and FOR HIS KINGDOM. Living with a purpose.
