I went to the Post Office this morning and is true most mornings I had just “junk mail.” The trash can at the post office was overflowing with “junk mail.” Many customers went to their boxes, flipped through the mail and tossed it all in the trash. We sure get lots of “junk mail.”
It’s kind of like cable tv, hundreds of channels, and nothing to watch. Why is so much spent on sending out mail and programming that no one seems to watch? I guess if you send a ton of junk mail out and one pound of it is read and one ounce of it is responded to, then you will have achieved your goal.
We need to be constantly aware that so much of what circulates around us is junk: mail, tv, lots of conversation. Talk is cheap and folks are willing to churn out tons of it if only a tiny bit comes back to them as profit.
It makes worth while words all the more valuable. We need to be so careful about what we throw out there. If we send out words of value they will be scooped up from the junk pile and cherished for the value that they represent.
Don’t add to the junk. Spend some time crafting some worth while pearls to cast out. Send them out with a prayer. They will somewhere be cherished and well received.
