DAILY DEVOTIONAL 📖  Don’t be an animal!

You Animal! -

Some church members are as stubborn as a mule about doing church work, but as sly as a fox in their own business deals; as busy as a bee in spreading the latest gossip, but as quiet as a mouse in spreading the gospel of Christ. 

Many are as blind as a bat to see the needs of others, but have eyes of a hawk to see the faults of a few. Some are as eager as a beaver about a barbecue, but as lazy as a dog about the prayer meetings. Some will roar like a lion when things do not go just to suit them, but they are as gentle as a lamb when they need the preacher of the church. Some are as noisy as a blue jay when letting the church know their opinion, but as timid as a kitten in mentioning Jesus to others. Some are quick as a bunny in pushing their agenda, but as slow as a snail about contacting absentees and shut-ins. 

Some are happy as a clam to be a church member, but as mad as a hornet when someone encourages them to get more involved. Many are night owls on Saturday nights, but bed bugs Sunday mornings and as scarce as hen’s teeth on Sunday and Wednesday nights.
