Well folks just got back from the grocery and had the funniest thing happen.
Lady was in front of me trying to buy a pack of chicken for $3.37 (tax
included). Well, she was digging, and I - out of the *sheer goodness of my
heart - offered her the small 27 cents that she herself did not have, so she
could get the chicken.
Now, here's the funny part. She takes the money from me, *doesn't even say
thank you, gives the money to the cashier, and then the friend (she didn't
have any money either) who was with her says "Praise god. God is *good. God
was looking out for you right there!" And she shook her head and said, "Yes
he sure was!" And then they leave, with the chicken, still mumbling "praise
jesus" all the way out the door.
I suppose she could have at least given you a smile of gratitude, but
like they say, "A myth is as good as a smile."
Just goes to show, "With enough help, and a bit of luck, even God can
work miracles." As long as you're not too picky about the calibre of
miracle, anyway.
Q: Why do believers give God the glory?
A: Dude, He's six thousand years old; He can't come get it for
Himself any more.
Ba dum bum. Got a million of 'em, folks. ;->
