Church Family and Friends,

We can make a difference even if we never know about it. A woman who had not been to church in many years came to church one Sunday. She had been invited many times by the Pastor and members. She used her job as an excuse not to come to church. She worked in a coffee shop, but on this Sunday she came to church. To everyone's amazement, when the invitation was given, she came down to the altar and gave her heart to Jesus. The new Pastor said I am glad you came today. We are excited that you are excited about Jesus. Did you come because one of our people invited you? Did you see one of our ads? She said no. She said A little 10-year-old boy came into the coffee shop. He was dirty from playing. I gave him a glass of water. He asked me how much did an ice cream sundae cost. I said 50 cents. He started counting his change and asked how much the plain ice-cream cost. People were coming in, and a line was forming, so I said 35 cents in a sharp mean voice. He looked at his coins and said, I will have the plain ice cream. I brought his ice-cream. I placed it on the table with the bill and went on about my business. He got up, paid his bill, smiled, and went out the door. I went back to clean the table, and I almost cried. Right there neatly beside the empty dish was 15 cents; my tip from the little boy. He got plain ice-cream instead of a Sundae so he could leave me a tip. Then she shared with the preacher, that many years ago she used to be like the little boy when she went to church. She said I am back, and I want Jesus in my heart. Most likely, the little boy never knew the big influence he had on this lady getting saved. When we do Godly acts, they do not return void.
