00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>It's been a busy morning at the Emerald Lake Hotel

2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and Spa, but things have finally quieted down. Madam Manager

3
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.679
<v Speaker 1>and Haley can take a little break. But this break

4
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 1>will only be RESTful for one of them. A misheard

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>conversation turns into a chance to exercise faith. Let's head

6
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 1>into the hotel for today's mini adventure called the Dishonest Manager.

7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Last guest is checked out for the morning. Take a

8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>little break, Hayley.

9
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.119
<v Speaker 3>Oh thanks, mother Manager. Oh my feet sore. I'll just

10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 3>tidy up my area.

11
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Listen to the quarters jingle.

12
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 3>The quarters. Oh yeah, listen.

13
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 4>See I told you people don't mind giving a little

14
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 4>like a quarter.

15
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 3>You were right, Mother Manager. Pretty soon this little box

16
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 3>will be full of quarters.

17
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 4>That will make for a nice contribution to the Summer

18
00:00:58.759 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 4>camp funds.

19
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 5>Really nice that we're helping kids go to summer camp

20
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.119
<v Speaker 5>who can't afford it.

21
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, ever since the one Christmas dinner to help high

22
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 4>risk youth, my eyes have been opened.

23
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and it's pretty good to help kids who need it. Personally,

24
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate what people have done for Kyler and me.

25
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I know, Hailey, you are a wonderful protege.

26
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Thanks bad Manager. I'll dick my break now, I'll wait

27
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 3>here for you. Oh, Chaplin, Jake's here.

28
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Go on and say hello.

29
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Chaplin Jake, what are you doing here?

30
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

31
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 5>Hi?

32
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 6>Natasha's buying a gift card at the spa for her mom.

33
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 6>I'm just waiting.

34
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.599
<v Speaker 5>Oh well, I'm on a break. Can I ask you

35
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 5>about my Bible homework?

36
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 6>A sure thing, Hailey Chaplin is never off duty.

37
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.400
<v Speaker 5>I didn't really understand the peerable we were reading in

38
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 5>Luke chapter sixteen.

39
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it was, yeah, the parable.

40
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 6>It's the dishonest manager. It's pretty hard to understand it.

41
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>First, as Haley asked her question, Madam manager walked toward them.

42
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>She was going to say hello, but stopped dead in

43
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>her tracks when she heard this.

44
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 3>The dishonest manager is very difficult to understand.

45
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>What the dishonest manager? Moah, what does it mean.

46
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 3>To be faithful in the little things? The manager is

47
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 3>dishonest in the little things?

48
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Ah, dishonest little little the quarters. I'm not being dishonest.

49
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 6>Little things are really big things. If a person can't

50
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 6>be honest and taking care of something small, then can

51
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 6>you really trust them with bigger things? Bigger things like

52
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 6>what well things that are more valuable in God's eyes.

53
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 6>If we're not honest with small things, then can we

54
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 6>really be trusted with bigger responsibilities.

55
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 3>The manager isn't honest with the little things, so.

56
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 5>I guess not, well, I never And if you're not

57
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 5>faithful with money, what does it mean to be unfeiful

58
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 5>and true riches?

59
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 4>It is about money, But I'm collecting quotas to help

60
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 4>at risk children.

61
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 6>Well, to God, our money is a little thing. True

62
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.360
<v Speaker 6>riches are things that matter in eternity.

63
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 5>Like telling people about God and helping them to be saved.

64
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly, That's what I want the children at some

65
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 4>account to experience.

66
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 5>And if the manager isn't faithful with someone else's money,

67
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 5>they won't receive their own riches, will they.

68
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm not after my own riches. I'm not after my

69
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 4>own riches. Oh I a manager? Oh hello JKB P Donovan?

70
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>How are you today? And having a good conversation with

71
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>my uh my.

72
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.719
<v Speaker 3>Bro now the manager?

73
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Are you all right, Haley? I thought that you liked

74
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>learning the hotel business from me.

75
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 6>I thought you'd like to be mentoring you.

76
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>I I'm confused. Why are you crying? Natasha?

77
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Rescue me?

78
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 4>Because I thought that you'd liked me, Haley, not that

79
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 4>you thought I was dishonest.

80
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 3>Dishonest, But Madame Manager, were you heaves dropping?

81
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Do you mean listening in on your conversation? Well, in

82
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 2>our conversation, oh, Haley.

83
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 5>Tell her, Madame Manager, Chaplin, Jake and I were just

84
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 5>talking about my Bible homework.

85
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, what's the assignment? How does dishonest?

86
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, math manager.

87
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 5>It's about Luke Chapter sixteen and the parable of the

88
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 5>dishonest manager, the Terrible Yes, a story Jesus told her boy,

89
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 5>the manager who waste his boss's money.

90
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 3>It's confusing.

91
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh, so you were talking about that's story.

92
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Oh, Haley, I thought that you were talking about

93
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 4>me and my little things, my quarters for the summer campers.

94
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, no, no, no, that's a good thing.

95
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 4>You're doing well, I thought so helping children to go

96
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 4>to camp and learn about Jesus.

97
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.160
<v Speaker 6>Now that's true, Riches, putting her effort into things that

98
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 6>will last for eternity.

99
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Mad a Manager, you're the opposite of a dishonest manager.

100
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>I am.

101
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 3>You're an honest manager and a wonderful Boston mentor.

102
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I I am aren't I?

103
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh, how could I be so silly, of course I am, Hey, I.

104
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 6>Think I have some quarters?

105
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 4>I do oh, run on over and put them in

106
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 4>the box on the counter.

107
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 6>Can I just give them to you?

108
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Of course not, My protege and I are on a break.

109
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Well you're of Jacob the idea and grab Usa, Natasha,

110
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 4>how rescue me?

111
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, man and manager really got the wrong idea from

112
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Hayley and chaplain Jake's conversation. That can happen when we

113
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>only hear part of what someone's talking about.

114
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 2>The good news is.

115
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Our honest manager really is faithful in small things and

116
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>is helping make a difference for kids telling them about Jesus.

117
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Has God asked you to.

118
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Take care of a small thing for him, like helping

119
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to collect the offering at church, or maybe feeding the

120
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>animals at home, or helping your younger sibling onto the

121
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 1>school bus. Those little things are big. Do them faithfully,

122
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 1>and God will give you more and more to do

123
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>for him. He'll keep exercising your faith. I'm miss Jean,
