Nicholes - Giving half a cheerio

A preacher at a small church in my home town would sometimes take his two small sons with him to an early morning Bible study. An elderly gentleman, would, sometimes split his donut with the two brothers. One Sunday the smallest son came to church with a sandwich bag full of Cheerios. The elderly man leaned over and asked the young boy if he could have some. The boy reached in his bag, pulled out a Cheerio, and split it in half, giving him half a Cheerio! I think our view of our own generosity is often like that! God gives us so much, and we give Him back half a Cheerio! (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
