Jesus Loves you!

Alright, this is quite a funny story, considering its source. So Linda came back home last night from a business trip and she tells me, "I almost brought you home something." No doubt I was curious, so I asked what it was. So she began her short little story.

Linda was at the airport and was hopping aboard the plane to head back home. She gets to her seat and there is an empty seat in the middle with another person on the other side. So a mother and her child come up to her and the mother tells her son that he could sit in the middle and that she would sit in the back seat just right behind him (considering there was only a middle seat available where Linda was as well as the seats behind her). Of course, the kid wasn't too happy about the idea. However, Linda being the nice person that she is, offers up her seat so the mother and child could sit together. As a response, the mother thanks her graciously and then hands her a tiny pamphlet and says "Jesus loves you". At this point in the story, Linda tells me "I already knew Jesus loved me. I didn't need a pamphlet for that. I mean, come on, I live with you Jeremiah". So she proceeds to sit in the middle seat, directly behind where she was sitting. But to her right was this grisly, BIG man with a large burrito in his hand and scruffed up hair. Immediately he goes into how bad his day has been and all the crap he is having to deal with right now. Taking the opportunity presented to her, Linda hands him the pamphlet (which is all about how Jesus loves you and wants you to be saved) and replies, "Here, Jesus loves you!" The man has a HUGE smile on his face, thanks her, and then puts it in his pocket.

I just thought that was absolutely hilarious. Anyone who knows Linda knows exactly what I mean. She then tells me "So you were going to get a tiny pamphlet about Jesus, but instead I had to let someone know that Jesus loves them". Hahaha, my Jewish aunt just evangelized! LOL.
