e-Inspiration: I Almost Sold Your Son

Several years ago, a preacher moved to 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 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 of money ? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare, they would never miss it.

Accept it as a gift from God and keep it."

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then handed the quarter to the driver and said, "You gave me too much change."

The driver, with a smile replied, "Aren't you the new preacher in town ? I've been thinking about going to worship somewhere. 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 the bus, he literally grabbed the
nearest light pole, and held on, and said, "O God," "I almost sold your Son for a quarter."

OUR LIVES ARE THE ONLY BIBLE SOME PEOPLE WILL EVER READ !!!!
