Something to think about

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 opportunity 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 in
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, and the bus company gets too much fare already; 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, and 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 -- 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 am glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder.
God bless you; I hope you are having a wonderful day! If you do not pass
this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen but if you do, you will have
ministered to someone.
The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not
PROTECT you... Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL!
