Pastor Parker was looking at downtown buildings when he noticed a white lunch truck handing out sandwiches to men and women in the city park. He thought he recognized someone so he drove into the park and got out.
" Here you are Marion" Pastor Peters said as he handed the sandwich to the smiling older woman.
" Bless you Pastor" she replied with a toothless grin. " Bless you".
Pastor Peters saw the man coming up to the window. " Pastor Parker, a pleasant surprise to see you".
" Pastor Peters" he replied as men and women kept coming up to the window. " I'm surprised a pastor with your potential would be handing out free sandwiches to the homeless in a small Montana town city park".
" I'm happy here in my hometown, helping people who need me". He passed out his last sandwich and then closed the truck's serving window. He noticed Pastor Parker's Lexus and walked over. " Are you happy Pastor Parker, I mean really happy?".
" Of course" was his reply as he grinned and pointed at his new car. " My church is going to open a third site and our combined attendance is 20,000 members a week". He showed Pastor Peters his new Rolex watch. " Life is good".
" Good" Pastor Peters said as he began to walk toward the white lunch truck. " Then we are both happy where we are". " God bless you Pastor Parker" he said as he opened the truck's driver door and then got in. " Go in peace". He started the truck and then left the park.
Pastor Parker stood for a moment, pondering that thought. Then he got into his Lexus and left the park.
