The Quarter...Are you selling too cheap?

A MountainWings Moment#7310

Several years ago a preacher moved to
Houston, Texas.

Some weeks after he arrived, he had 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 already
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 lately about going to worship
somewhere. I just wanted to see what you
would do if I gave you too much change."

When the preacher stepped off the bus,
he literally grabbed the nearest light pole
and held on, and said,"Oh God!

I almost sold your Son
for a quarter".

Our lives may be the
only Bible some
people will ever
read.
