I do errands for you and for others.  I never get tired or grumpy.  When you give me a job to do I don’t complain.  Not once do I ask, “Why doesn’t someone else do it?”  I seldom lose what you trust to me.  I will go wherever you want me to to—on short trips or long ones.  I won’t cost you much money—not more than a candy bar or two.

If you wish I’ll travel t India for you.  Or I’ll go to Africa, Alaska, or Australia.  I’ll deliver what you give me to places near or far.

To serve you I may sail the ocean in a big ship.  Or speed through the sky in a silver plane.  Sometimes I may go by bicycle, truck, or train.  I may even plod along on a donkey’s back.  Or I may sway on a camel’s bumps, or be carried by a man.

I’m not very large and there are many of me.  You will find me and my friends busy in every country.  We work together to serve you.  We follow certain rules and each one of us does his part.  We always try to stick to our job until it’s done.

When I’m given an errand to do I’m put in a box.  The box is red, white, and blue.  Then I’m taken out of the box and put into a sack.  I ride in a truck to a certain building.  There I get set for my trip, near or far.

Do you know who I am?  Shall I tell you what I look like? Sometimes I wear a face like Abraham Lincoln or Thomas Jefferson.  But other times I wear the face of a woman.  Or I look like a building or a plane.  My name is POSTAGE STAMP!

In some ways I’m like you.

Some one made me.

     You were made by God.

I was made to serve other.

    God made you to serve Him.

I deliver messages.

      If you trust in the Lord Jesus He wants you to deliver a message too.  He says,  "Go into all the world and tell the gospel to everyone.”

I follow rules.

     God has rules for you to follow.  They are in His Word.

“Whatever you do, do it with all your hearts for the Lord…You are serving Christ, the Master.”   Colossians 3:23a, 24a

May the Holy Spirit light a burning desire within you and your children to share His Word with others from all places and all walks of life.  May He make your steps many toward those who need the truth and may He make your words, His words, and help you to proclaim them boldly.

Amen.....enjoy your weekend!
