A Merry Heart Does Good Like Medicine but a Broken Spirit Drives up the
Soul, Proverbs 17:22
preacher was making his rounds to his parishioners on a bicycle, when he came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawn mower.
"How much do you want for the mower?" asked the preacher. "I
just want enough money to go out and buy me a bicycle", said the little boy. After a moment of consideration, the preacher
asked, "Will you take my bike in trade for it?" The
little boy asked if he could try it out first, and after riding the bike around a little while said, "Mister, you've
got yourself a deal." The preacher
took the mower and began to try to crank it. He pulled on the cord a few times with no response from the mower. The preacher
called the little boy over and said, "I can't get this mower to start."
The little boy said, "That's because you have to cuss at it to get it started."
The preacher said, "I am a minister, and I cannot cuss. It has been so long since I have been saved that I do not even
remember how to cuss." The little
boy looked at him happily and said, "Just keep pulling on that cord. It'll come back to ya!
