Scattered Fruit
March 10, 2009 
The story is told of a Christian serving in the armed forces who was home on a leave of absence. He was rushing to catch his train when he ran into a fruit stand on the station platform, knocking most of the piled up apples to the ground. The young boy who was attending to the stand tried to pick up his scattered fruit but was having difficulty. The apologetic serviceman put down his luggage and started collecting the apples. He polished each one with his handkerchief and put it back on the counter. So impressed was the boy that he asked gratefully, “Sir, are you Jesus?” With a smile, the soldier replied, “No I’m not but I’m trying to be like Him.”
Something to think about…
Sometimes, as we hurry about our own responsibilities, we become too busy to care about OTHER people. But we must remember that Jesus urges us to show Kindness and Conern for our fellowmen. He set the perfect example for us in John 13 by being a servant. We need to take the time to be helpful also.
