A woman bought a parrot ,took it home,and then return it to the pet store the next day.'this bird doesn't' talk',she told the owner.'Does he have a mirror' asked the owner.'Parrot loves mirrors.They see themselves and start up a conversation.So the woman bought the mirror.Next day she returned.The bird still wasn't talking.How about a ladder?.Parrots loves walking up and down a ladder.A happy parrot is more likely to walk.The woman bought a ladder.Sure enough,she was back the next day and her countenance has changed.The parrot is dead she said.The pet store owner was shocked,I'm sorry,tell me did it ever say a word? he asked.Yes right before it died,the woman replied,'It said, 'Don't they sell food at that pet store?.The moral of this story is: You can spend your life on mirrors,focusing on appearance,on ladders,focusing on career success and starve to death spiritually.You will die spiritually if you don't feed yourself on God's Word each day!! Jeremiah said, Your words are found, and I ate them and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.Thank You
