A Bad Rumor

Boy, could I start a rumor today. "Restaurant trades for porn".

I really did have the coolest, Jesus opportunity today.

Two young boys came into the restaurant, I'd say, approx. 12 years old in age. They were buying a couple of sodas and asking the price of an ice cream cone. They obviously didn't have enough money for the ice cream, but in between all of the pricing and purchasing, one of the little guys kept pulling out of his pocket a pornographic paper and sticking it back in. He couldn't keep his eyes off of it, so he took it back out and looked. By this time, I glanced at what he was looking at as he put in back in his pocket. His friend told him that he shouldn't look at that in public, besides, so and so told you to put it under your mattress and pull it out when no one was around.

The first word I thought of was: CRAP! I just couldn't stand there and not do anything. Asking for the Lord's guidance, I quickly came up with a deal. I told the young man that if he would give me the paper I would take it and tear it up and throw it away, then I would give them two free ice cream cones. The boy with the porn, pulled it right out and gave it to me with no hesitation. The other boy, hesitated and said he didn't want any ice cream, but ended up changing his mind. My husband was standing there and as the boys were leaving I told them they could come back when they had time and my husband would love to tell them where pornography leads them.

God is faithful to these young boys who need His direction, but the Lord also has a sense of humor too.

Our restaurant will be known for trading porn for ice cream!

Whatever works, the Lord meets us where we are.
