Long Walk Included
One of my favorite stories is about a missionary teaching in Africa.
Before Christmas, he had been telling his native students how
Christians, as an expression of their joy, gave each other presents on
Christ's birthday.
On Christmas morning, one of the natives brought the missionary a
seashell of lustrous beauty. When asked where he had discovered such an
extraordinary shell, the native said he had walked many miles to a
certain bay, the only spot where such shells could be found.
"I think it was wonderful of you to travel so far to get this
lovely gift for me," the teacher exclaimed.
His eyes brightening, the native replied, "Long walk, part of
gift."
