Dant.... Dant.... Daaaaaaa...

Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

In the mornings I drive a school bus for our local school. I get up early and pick all the children up for their day of learning. My routine is exactly the same just about every morning. From the time I wake up to the exact times I pick each child up. One of my routines in the morning is getting on the bus and placing my keys and cell phone in the side compartment. My ringer is usually still on most mornings so I can hear when a call or text comes through. But I can't look at them because I would get fired. That's why it stays in the compartment.

This morning I did something a little different. Because of the technology of smart phones I can actually send out what is called a "scheduled text". I simply write my text and schedule it to go out at a certain time. This is a great new addition to our technology. It helps if you think of something in the middle of the night and don't want to forget to tell the person, just schedule a text for the next morning.

Well I scheduled some texts to go out to my wife before I began my bus route.While on my route at 6:45am she received, "I love you." At 7:00am she received, "I love you." At 7:15am she received, "I really love you." And at 7:25am she received, "I really, really love you." Hopefully you can imagine what happened. As I was driving my route and picking up my children, my phone begin to alert me that I had a text. And because of technology again I have a special text alert for my wife. It is the little animal on the movie "Croods" that goes... "Dant.... Dant.... Daaaaaaa..."

At 6:45am it went... "Dant.... Dant.... Daaaaaaa..." At 7:00am it went... "Dant.... Dant.... Daaaaaaa..." At 7:15am it went... "Dant.... Dant.... Daaaaaaa..." At 7:25am it went... "Dant.... Dant.... Daaaaaaa..."
Although I couldn't check the messages I knew that Patti was receiving my I love you's.

God tells us that whatever we measure out to others it will be measured back unto us. The exact same measurement will be measured back. So what are you giving unto others? What would make them want to give back unto you? Always remember this also, God is the one who gives back the blessing. "Dant.... Dant.... Daaaaaaa..."
