Lost and found

Lost and found; this is terminology that many of us is familiar with, and all of us claim to be true.
Well today I want to use it in a very practical way, we all have lost or found something and when we loose it we wish that some one honest enough would return it and even wondered "how can there be people that when they find something they don't ask around to see if the owner is in fact looking for it", ah but when wee (I include me) find some thing that does not belong to us, we don't return it! we simply put it away or put it in our pocket.
It is a trait we hate in people but justify ourselves. we are selfish, and this is the opposite of love, see Corinthians 13:5 "does not seek his own" I just love how pastor Mike puts it "its only the people in Texas" well now he has left them alone and says " the people in massachusetts" but I am going to put it like it is, brothers and sisters I am guilty! and this is just my intro.
Today after our second service a gentlemen came up to the sound booth asking for a this little swiss army pocket knife that he had lost, it has some sort of coin on it. the reason why he is looking for it is that it was his father's and its merely sentimental value, he would just like to find it.
A few weeks back another gentlemen lost his bible and was looking for it, I believe he found it though, and I'm sure that we all have lost something at one point or another or found something that does not belong to us. My brother Steve, Greg or Mo and myself decided to come up with a lost and found box that would be in the back where the sound booth is. If anybody finds something please bring it to the box but let some one know, if you lost something; well you will know where is at becuase some one found it and returned it.
You see love is thoughtful and I want to be reminded to practice this actions of love, there are very small but they go very far.

Thank you+ yours in Christ Jesus,

Frank.
