~@ Priming The Pump @~
::A Bible Verse::
"Whoever Drinks Of The Water That
I Shall Give Him Will Never Thirst.
But .... Will Become In Him A Fountain
Of Water Springing Up Into Everlasting
Life. = John 4:14
At A Remote Road Stop In The Desert
Stood A Deserted Gasoline Station.
Alongside Was A Well With An Old-Fashioned
Pump.
A Traveler, Dying Of Thirst, Stumbled Into The
Outpost.
He Ran To The Well, And There He Saw A Cup
Filled With Water!
But Under The Cup Was A Note.
Dear Traveler:
There's Loads Of Water Deep Down In This Well.
Use This Cup To Prime The Pump. Then Drink
All You Want From The Bottom Of The Well.
When You've Had All You Want, Fill The Cup Again
For The Next Person Who Comes Thirsting Down
The Road.
Whenever You Do, Don't Drink From This Cup
Or There'll Be No Water To Prime The Pump -
Ever Again.
The Thirsty Traveler Read The Notes And Looked
At The Cup Of Water.
Unable To Heed The Warning, He Brought The Cup
To His Lips.
Then He Hesitated For A Moment, And, In A Sublime
Act Of Faith, Followed The Instructions.
He Poured The Water Down The Dry Pump, Worked
The Handle As Fast As He Could, And Suddenly Out
Of The Mouth Of The Pump Poured Forth Cold Water
From The Depths.
Delighted, He Drank.
When He'd Had All He Could Enjoy, He Filled The Cup
And Left It On The Well With The Note.
We Prime The Pump When We Spend Our Last Ounce Of
Energy On The Hope That Our Energy Will Be Renewed.
Invest Seed Money.
Call Venture Capital.
Because Someone, Somewhere Helped You Get Started,
Pray That Your Success Will Help Someone Else Down The
Road Of Faith.
With That Kind Of Faith, And That Kind Of Attitude, You'll
Never Run Dry!
