Three Kernels of Corn Parable

[Heavyduty053]

 

 

               Three young men were once given three kernels of corn apiece by a wise old sage, who admonished them to go out into the world and use the corn to bring themselves good fortune. The first young man being careless and free put his three kernels of corn into a bowl of hot broth and filled his belly. The second thought, I can do better than that and he planted his three kernels of corn. Within a few months, he had three stalks of corn. He took the ears of corn from the stalks, boiled them and ate for three meals.

               The third man said to himself, I can do better than that! He also planted his three kernels of corn, but when his three stalks of corn produced, he stripped one of the stalks and replanted all of the seeds from it, gave the second stalk of corn to a sweet maiden who didn't have hardly anything to eat and he ate the third. His one stalk's worth of replanted corn kernels gave him 200 more stalks of corn. The kernels of these he continued to replant setting aside only enough to eat and feed others. He eventually planted a hundred acres of corn. With his fortune, he not only won the hand of the maiden but purchased the land owned by the sweet maiden's father. HE never hungered again.

 

The moral of this is when you have an opportunity think before you act, get the most out of what you have been given or what you have worked for.

 

The more you share the more God will share with you. DO not give to those who have an abundance, give to those who has little.

 

Proverbs 11:24It is possible to give freely and become more wealthy, but those who are stingy will loose everything

Proverbs 11:25 The generous prosper and are satisfied; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
