HARD TO EARN.

Hard can be easy, in spiritual matters.

I saw this picture the other day and it held me in mixed emotions.  For one, I just found out that my position at the school was ending on May 27th (I found that out 10 days prior to the date by letter).  This gentleman was most likely standing on the street in the middle of the great depression.  So seeing this now has a twinge of deja vu to it.  My pastor reminded us the a while ago that God signs our paycheck, not our jobs.  So I find it odd that the man would hold such a sign, but I understand that he probably wanted to make it clear that he was not looking for a hand out from anyone, but only wanted to earn a check.  In a spiritual sense, it reminds me of us in our bankrupt state.  See we want to earn our stripes in the realm of entering into paradise.  The problem is, getting into heaven is not a union(labor) issue, its a CHARITY ISSUE.
