Several years ago, a preacher

Several years ago, a preacher
from out-of-state accepted a call
to a church in Houston, Texas. Some weeks after he arrived he had
an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area.
When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had
accidentally given him a quarter too much change.
As he considered what to do, he thought to himself,
‘You’d better give the quarter back.
It would be wrong to
keep it.'
Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it it's only a quarter.
Who would worry about this little amount?
Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it.
Accept it as a gift from God' and keep quiet.'
When his stop came, he paused
momentarily at the door, then he
handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much
change.'
The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher
in town? I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to
worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too
much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.'
When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed
the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son
for a quarter '
Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read.
This is a really scary
example of how much people watch us as Christians
and will put us to the test!
Always be on guard and remember
that you carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call
yourself 'Christian.'
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
I'm glad a friend forwarded this
to me as a reminder.
God bless you;
I hope you are having a wonderful day!
If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; if you do,
something good might.
The Will
of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you...
Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL
