Emphasis Preaching Journal

Have you ever noticed that a gift implies responsibility? If someone gives me a dog he thinks I will feed it, house it, love it, perhaps train it, take it to the veterinarian when it gets sick, keep it from being run over on the highway, keep it in my yard so it won't get picked up by the dog catcher and taken to the pound. Somebody gives you a shirt or a tie, you wear it sometime where they will see it. Somebody gives you a vase or a painting or a picture or furniture you can't stand, you still try to put it out where they'll see it at least once.
