If you are always taking blessings to yourself and never learn to pour out anything unto the Lord, other people do not get their horizon enlarged through you.
My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers (Sept. 3 entry)
Our son did a little bit of horizon enlarging for two boys from church. We've taken these boys fishing three times now. Our son has lent them all the gear, taught them how to cast, and helped them with everything that's needed to catch a fish. On this past Sunday, the two boys caught their first fish ever, and boy were they excited!
They kept our son VERY busy with baiting their hooks and taking the fish off the hooks. They weren't quite ready to tackle that (no pun intended) entirely on their own yet. I was so proud of our son, who patiently showed his servant heart to these boys.
After the two boys caught six fish between the two of them, our son took the opportunity to do some serious fishing of his own. As you can see, God was gracious to reward him with a great catch (pictured above, with my son still wearing his bike helmet)!
