The Queen of England often visited Bob Morrow Castle. On one occasion when she was walking by herself, it started to rain. She rushed to the shelter of the nearest cottage. A lady came to the door, who was really ticked off that someone would bother her at that time. In the morning she opened the door and a few inches just a few inches, and she barked, what do you want? The Queen didn’t introduce herself. She merely asked, may I borrow an umbrella? Just a minute, grumbled the woman. She slammed the door and was gone for a moment and returned bringing the rattiest umbrella. She could find one with broken ribs and small holes. She pushed it through the door and said here. The Queen of England thanked her and went on her way with the ragged umbrella. The next morning, the Queen’s full escort, dressed in full uniform, pulled up in front of the cottage. One of the escorts knocked on the door and returned the umbrella to the woman, saying Madam, the Queen of England thanks you. And as he walked away he heard her mutter, if I’d only known I had given her my best. Someday, we’ll all stand before the King of heaven, and some will be heard to mutter if I’d only known I’d given you my very best. The fact is we do know. And yet many of us still give Christ the scraps, the leftovers, whatever cost us the least. Because God loves us. He gave his only best. His son John 3:16, tells us all about that. Can we give him anything less than our best? Have a great day. God bless you, Captain Ken Chapman.
