Good Morning!
My uncle, John Robert, owned and operated a country store in Kosciusko, MS, called Cain's Mercantile and Grocery. He had a son who graduated from MSU with a degree in accounting before coming back to Attala County to manager his daddy's holdings, which were now rather vast.
One Saturday John Robert got up and went down to the store to see how things were going with his son in charge. Pulling up in the parking lot he noticed a big sign on the door that read, “Closed for inventory.” He almost had a heart attack. He hadn't been closed in 35 years. He let himself in the empty store and asked his boy, “What's going on?” Junior said, “Daddy, we're taking inventory. They taught me this in accounting” His daddy said, “Let me tell you something about inventory. You get that ladder, look on the top shelf and you'll see what's left of a bolt of flannel cloth. Your momma and I started over 40 years ago with that one bolt of cloth. That's your inventory. Everything else is profit. Now get them doors open and go to work!”
Take a moment to inventory all God has blessed you with? And now take that inventory and get to work!
