RING A DING

The "new to me house" came with a piece of electronics I have never possessed before.  My off spring have all had one, so I am vaguely familiar with them, BUT as yet, I have not gotten "on-line" with the device.   It will require some assistance, and all my techie off spring stay VERY busy.  What is the hurry, right?  

NOW---I am probably going to like this once I get it hooked up (Yes, I could read the instructions on line, but I do not speak "Techie" and do not really have a desire to learn), BUT what will be the cost?  Like most of you, I am not interested in a new set of knives, pest control, not even Girl Scout cookies -among various door to door goods offered.  I especially do not want to fill out any questionnaire NOR am I going to discuss politics with you ( you all know I DO NOT discuss politics).  My religious and church choices were made a long time ago and you cannot persuade me to change.   Actually I can think of NO reason I would answer the doorbell for a stranger.    SO, in today's advanced technological age---this may all  work to my advantage.  I know my neighbors, my family, and my friends and will gladly answer the door for them, BUT it pays to be safe, and giving a toehold by opening the door for a stranger to get in is NOT always safe.    It pays to be careful, and since it is frowned upon to answer the door with a gun in your hand (that may be alright in Texas since there is an open carry law) I will not answer the door if I see it is a stranger.  

Where in the world am I going?  If you were to see Jesus when He rings your doorbell, would you recognize Him and let Him in?  Do you know Jesus well enough to recognize His love, His compassion, --His very Holiness if you were to see Him?  He promises if we knock, He will answer, but what if He knocks and asks to enter?  What would be your response?  

" 'Ask and it will be given to you;

seek and you will find;

knock and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives;

the one who seeks find;

and to the one who knocks,

the door will be opened.' "

Matthew 7:7-8
