New Preacher in Town:
There was a new paster in a fair sized town. One day he hopped on the city bus for transportation to a meeting. When he boarded the bus, he gave the driver money and the driver, in turn, provided him his change. When he reached his seat, he went to put the change in his pocket and discovered the driver had given him 25 cents too much.
As the bus traveled down the city streets, the paster thought to himself, What should I do?
When the bus reached his stop, the pastor stopped at the bus driver's seat and explained that he had been given 25 cents too much in change and wished to return the amount.
The bus driver turned and smiled and said to the pastor, "I knew that you were the new preacher in town. I gave you the extra quarter just to see what you would do. My wife and I are looking for a new church and we may just visit your church"
After the pastor was off the bus and walking on the sidewalk, he could only think that he could have completely sold his character for as little as 25 cents.
We are tested every day, do the right thing.
