Psalm 106:3 Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right. .......Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Amarillo, 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, “Youd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.” Then he thought, “Oh, forget it, its only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount?” Anyway, the bus company charges 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, “Arent 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. Ill 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! You carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself a Christian. What are others seeing you carry on your shoulders? Are you trying to do what is pleasing to the Lord? God is counting on you! Blessed Saturday to you my friends~
