Contributed by Davon Huss on Oct 9, 2015 (message contributor)
A missionary sat on the patio watching a black ant crawl up a table leg until it reached some spilled sugar. After it ate some of the sugar it crawled back down the table leg. Soon two black ants crawled up the table leg to the sugar. They ate and left. Soon a steady stream of black ants moved up and down the table leg to enjoy the sugar. The missionary thought to himself, “They must have some system by which they communicate, ‘I have found something good and I want to share it!’” Like those ants, we have found something good and we should want to share it.
