Susy and her husband, Michael, were at a restaurant with his boss, a rather stern older man.
When Michael began a tale Susy was sure he had told before, Susy gave him a kick under the table. There was no response, so Susy gave him another solid kick. Still the story went on.
Suddenly he stopped, grinned and said, "Oh, but I've told you this one before, haven't I?"
They all chuckled and changed the subject. Later, at the buffet line, Susy asked Michael why it had taken him so long to get her message.
"What do you mean?" he replied, confused. "I cut the story off as soon as you kicked me."
"But I kicked you twice and it still took you awhile to stop!" Susy repeated, frustrated at Michael's lack of awareness.
Suddenly Michael and Susy realized what had happened. Sheepishly they returned to their table, where the boss was digging into his large brownie a la mode dessert.
After accepting their apologies, the boss smiled and said, "Don't worry. After the second one I figured it wasn't for me, so I passed it along!"
Are you passing along God's message?
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. -John 3:14
