the gift return window by ric gustafson.
Max Allan walked carefully toward the gift return window. He was holding a big red box with a green bow on it. ' This was not the gift I wanted' he thought with a frustrated look on his face.
" May I help you?".
" Yes Shelly" he said as he stared at her nametag. " I am returning this gift".
" Let's see". She opened the box and took out a small card. On it were the words ' the free gift of eternal life'. She smiled at Max. " This is the best gift you could ever receive".
" Why is that?" he replied as he stared at the small card. " I really wanted a new set of power tools".
" First of all, this gift is free".
" Ok".
" Second of all, it is the best gift because it is Jesus".
" Ok, I'll take it back home" Max said as he put the card back into the box. He started to walk away with the box. " Merry Christmas".
Shelly smiled. " Merry Christmas".
