birdhunter39 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 One day, a man went to visit a church.. He got there early, parked his car, and got out. Another car pulled up and the driver got out and said,"I always park there! You took my place!" The visitor went inside for Sunday School, found an empty seat and sat down. A young lady from the church approached him and stated, "That's my seat! You took my place!" The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude welcome, but said nothing. After Sunday School, the visitor went into the sanctuary and sat down. Another member walked up to him and said, "That's where I always sit! You took my place!" The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment, but still He said nothing. Later as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them, the visitor stood up, and his appearance began to change. Horrible scars became visible on his hands and on his sandaled feet. Someone from the congregation noticed him and called out, "What happened to you?" The visitor replied, as his hat became a crown of thorns, and a tear fell from his eye, "I took your place." Maybe, just maybe, we can get the world to start thinking of Who took our place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdhunter39 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 imo i think if i said what was said ( not too sure how to use the quote thing ) i've never been a person who kept one spot for myself . here's what i'm trying to say , i've gone fishing before catching crappies like crazy , then i seen two children ( not mine ) near me fishing not catching them like i was . i called them over and rerigged their poles with extra gear i was using and gave up the spot i was at , this is all my opinion not anyone else"s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aksheephuntress Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I don't mean to hi-jack this thread; but would you please explain what you mean by your statement? I am intrigued. -I'm sorry, Preacherman....I just noticed your question... -I don't really know how to explain what I meant by my post......it's probably close to how you were interpreting it.... -I wouldn't mind a little continued prayer for my family, though.... -thanks;- I do appreciate your concern...
