There once was a quiet peddlar of fruits and vegetables who passed a minister's house each day.
One day the peddlar dropped a little black notebook that he always carried with him. The minister happened to find this notebook and looking through it to to find to whom it belonged, he was amazed at what was written in it.
Throughout the book were comments like:
- "Visit the following who have been missing from church ..."
- "Ask about the sick baby..."
- "Leave fruit for the blind lady..."
- "Speak a word to the old discouraged man on the corner..."
- "Invite the young man and his wife to church and Bible class..."
- etc.
The next day the minister asked the peddlar if the notebook belonged to him. Oh, yes answered the peddlar, "thats my book of reminders. I thank you very much!"
"I am pleased with your reminders," answered the minister.
"Well, Sir," replied the peddlar, "It helps keep my soul out of the dust, and I do it, he said turning to a quotation on the first page of the notebook, "for His body's sake, which is the church." (Col. 1:24)
