HAVE YOU A DINOSAUR'S EGG?

In a certain museum in New York there are a couple of dinosaur's eggs on view. This exhibit appeals to the imagination . Visitors say, "Those eggs were laid millions of years ago, and here they are today untouched?" These people are apt to overlook the fact that for the dinosour in question they represent complete failure. After all the trouble of laying those eggs nothing ever came of them.

It is surprising how many otherwise intelligent men and women waste the best days of their lives laying dinosaur's eggs that never hatch out. either though lack of energy, or lack of intelligent planning, or failure to make God a partner, or more often sheer muddle-headedness, they lay an excellent egg and then stroll away and forget it. Do not start a plan unless you really think it is worthwhile, and if you are convinced that it is worthwhile, do not rest until you have brought it to fruition.

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God (Luke 9:62).
