[SIZE=+0]Several years ago, a new preacher moved to Houston, Texas. Some weeks after he arrived, he had occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, "You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Then he thought, "Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]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."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]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. I'll see you at church on Sunday"[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he grabbed the nearest light pole, and said, "Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is an example of how much people watch us as Christians and will put us to the test. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Always be on guard and remember that we carry the name of Christ on our shoulders when we call ourselves a "Christian."[/SIZE]
