Pa Kettle:
[filling in for the preacher] I don't know how to preach a sermon, I can't qutoe Scriptures, although I know all the words, I wouldn't know how to put them together, but I can speak from my heart.
I can say how thankful I am that I have Ma and the kids, I am thankful for the food we get nd the clothes we wear.
A lot of folks are always asking God for something instaed of being thankful for what they got. I figure if He wants you to have it, it'll come to you because you deserve it. He gave us the mountains, the trees, the wtaer and the fertile land.
Gave boys the ability to make things and grow things. He put gold and silver, coal and oil under the ground, all man has to do is dig them up. Why I figure that He kind of wants you to help yourself a little, He don't want to do it all. If I found out right at this moment there was oil under my land, would I be lazy?
No sir, right away I'd get Geoduck and Crowbar to start digging an oil well. The whole world could be a better place to live in if eveyrbody would do like I do. Every morning when I wake up I say "I tahnk you God, for letting me live to see another day" and at night when I go to lseep I say "Dear God, please let me live to see another tomorrow so I can prove to You that I can be a better man than I have been today." Amen.
