This is a story about four people in the church whose names were Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
The church had financial responsibilities and Everybody was asked to help. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it. But you know who did it? Nobody. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.When the church grounds needed some work, and Somebody was asked to help. But Somebody got angry about that, because Anybody could have done it just as well and, after all, it was really Everybody’s job. In the end, the work was given to Nobody, and Nobody did a fine job.
Then the church grounds needed some work, and Somebody was asked to help. But Somebody got angry about that, because Anybody could have done it just as well and, after all, it was really Everybody’s job. In the end, the work was given to Nobody, and Nobody did a fine job.
On and on this went. Whenever work was to be done, Nobody could always be counted on. Nobody visited the sick. Nobody gave liberally. Nobody shared his faith. In short, Nobody was a very faithful member.
Finally, the day came when Somebody left the church and took Anybody and Everybody with him. Guess who was left. Nobody!
We need SOMEBODY…….ANYBODY………EVERYBODY…….. please!
