I received this email today and I think it's a good reminder that God is not the only one watching our actions.
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,
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?'
'Yes' he replied.
'Well, 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'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder.
So, I choose to forward it to you - my friend. God bless you;
I hope you are having a wonderful day!
If you don't 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!
Our Lord says to be careful only about one thing -
our relationship to Him.
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. a call to a church in Houston , Texas.
