'ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, INASMUCH AS YOU DID TO
   ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, YOU DID
   IT TO ME.'            ( MATTHEW 25:40 )

 
       Today I received the following story.   
   .  I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I.   I have  read it before, it seemed perfect to share with you today.
                     
       A t-Shirt with holes in it, jeans, and no shoes was literally
   Bill's wardrobe for his entire four years of college.  He was
   brilliant. Kind of esoteric and very, very bright.  He became a
   Christian while attending college.  Across the street from the
   campus was a well-dressed, very conservative church. They
   wanted to develop a ministry to the students but were not
   sure how to go about it.

       One day Bill decided to go there. He walked in with no
   shoes, jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair. The service had
   already started and so Bill walked down the aisle looking for a
   seat. The church was completely packed and he couldn't find
   a seat. By now, people were really looking a bit uncomfortable,
   but no one said anything. Bill got closer and closer and closer
   to the pulpit, and when he realized there were no seats, he
   just sat down right on the carpet.

       By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in
   the air was thick. About that time, the minister realized
   that from way at the back of the church, a deacon was slowly
   making his way toward Bill.  Now the deacon was in his
   eighties, had silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit. A godly
   man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. He walked with
   a cane and, as he started walking toward this boy, everyone
   was saying to themselves that you can't blame him for what
   he's going to do. How can you expect a man of his age and
   of his background to understand some college kid on
   the floor?

       It took a long time for the man to reach the boy. The
   church was utterly silent except for the clicking of the man's
   cane. All eyes were focused on him. You couldn't even hear
   anyone breathing. The minister couldn't even preach the
   sermon until the deacon did what he had to do.  And now
   they saw this elderly man drop his cane on the floor.  With
   great difficulty, he lowered himself and sat down next to Bill, 
   smiles, shakes his hand, and worshiped with him so he
   won't be alone.

       Everyone choked up with emotion. When the minister
   regained control, he said, "What I'm about to preach, you
   will never remember. What you have just seen, you will
   never forget."

       The moral of the story, "Be careful how you live. You may
   be the only Bible some people will ever read".

           I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for you today.
   To guide you and protect you as you go along your way......
   His love is always with you, His promises are true, and
   when we give Him all our cares, you know He will see us
   through. May the joy of the Lord be your strength... Have a blessed day.  Until we meet again.   God's blessings be with you.
