Ol' Fred |
Ol' Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the
hospital, near death. The family called their preacher
to stand with them.
As the preacher stood next to the bed, Ol' Fred's
condition appeared to deteriorate and he motioned
frantically for something to write on.
The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of
paper, and Ol' Fred used his last bit of energy to
scribble a note, then he died.
The preacher thought it best not to look at the note at
that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket.
At the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he
realized that he was wearing the same jacket that he
was wearing when Ol' Fred died. He said, "You know, Ol'
Fred handed me a note just before he died. I haven't
looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word
of inspiration there for us all."
He opened the note, and read, "Hey, you're standing on
my oxygen tube!"
