Wal-Mart Miracle

From an Email:


As a pastor I get many excuses why people cannot attend church on Sunday Morning.

One particular Sunday a woman called to tell me she was sick and could not make it to church. As it so happened, that Sunday we were short on food for a mens fellowship breakfast.

I was elected to go to Wal-Mart to pick up more food. While there I ran into the sick woman, I had spoken with earlier.

I said, "I just spoke with you a few minutes ago and you told me you were ill, what happened? Did you have a sudden recovery?"

"Yep," she said. "I was just practicing that faith you preach about all the time. I thought if I went to Wal-Mart on faith, I would have my miracle! And presto I'm all better now!"

"Now that you've had your miracle," I asked, "Are you coming to church?"

"Nope," she replied emphatically, "I'm going shopping."

As she headed off down the isle she added over her shoulder, "If I received a miracle at Wal-Mart, who knows what else I can find in here!"
