Can monkey's really experience the joy of giving?
Reuters recently reported that after some careful research scientists are able to say with some degree of confidence that monkeys can experience the joy of giving in "much the same way humans do."
This article was just too good to not post. Can't you hear the wheels turning in the heads of pastors as they look for ways to say: "If monkeys can experience joy in giving, then why can you?" (Ha!)
I would never suggest trying to draw a comparison from the pulpit. But it's an interesting thought that if our human capacity to give to others is God-given and a reflection of a giving God, then why wouldn't it be represented throughout creation?
While interesting to ponder, please don't suggest that your church members are monkeys. I don't want to go there, and I don't think you do either.
