Emphasis Preaching Journal

There's an old story about a village that was planning a great celebration. The village elders decided that each household would contribute a pitcher of wine, which would be placed in a great barrel. Then, at the feast, each villager could come and draw wine for the celebration. But each one thought: What will my little pitcher mean in that enormous barrel? So, instead of wine, each villager brought a pitcher of water. On the day of the feast the barrel was tapped, and only water came out. There was no celebration.
