McDonald's

I went by McDonald’s this afternoon in Soddy Daisy.  I had a friend with me, and we had stopped by to get him a cheeseburger and a drink.  After I ordered at the microphone screen, we drove to the first window.  I exchanged pleasantries and gave the girl my card.  As she handed me back my credit card and receipt, I gave her a tract saying, “Here’s something good for you to read.”  She held both hands up in refusal and said, “I am not allowed to dispose of garbage for customers.”  I was speechless, so I drove to the next window and the next girl.  She handed me my order and I handed her the same tract saying, “Here’s you something good for you to read.” she smiled and took it.  I went on, “Now don’t get into trouble reading it on company time.”  She smiled again and said, “Oh, I won’t.”  And I drove away.  As I drove off, I pondered the two girls.  One was defensive and had obviously been stung by some Christian in the past.  But the other took the little paper that had the power to turn her life around and to assure her of a home in heaven when she died.  What a difference in attitudes!  And what a difference in possibilities!  And so, I prayed for both girls and for both of their very different needs.  Hey, what about you?  Are you defensive about spiritual things, or are you open to honest discussions?  Why not try Jesus.  He just might turn your life around too.
