"A Quarter"
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 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 the Lord
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 my friend stepped off the bus, he literally
grabbed the nearest light pole, and held on, and
said, "Oh, Lord, I almost sold your Son for a quarter."
