A Witness 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.
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 Jehovah 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, "I see you have those
magazines that the witnesses carry. Are you one of Jehovah's
Witness? 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 Jehovah, I
almost sold your name for a quarter."
