One day, a man went to                                  visit a church. He got there early, parked                                  his car and got out. Another car pulled                                  up near him. The driver got out and                                  said, 'I always park there! You took my                                  place!'
 The visitor went inside for                                  Sunday School, found an empty seat                                  and sat down. A young lady from the                                  church approached him and                                  stated, 'That's my seat! You took my                                  place!' The visitor was                                  somewhat distressed by this rude                                  welcome, but said nothing.
 After                                  Sunday school, the visitor went into the                                  sanctuary and sat
 down. Another member                                  walked up to him and said, 'That's where                                  I always sit! You took my                                  place!'
The visitor was even more                                  troubled by this treatment, but still                                  He
 said nothing.
 Later as                                  the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell                                  among them, the visitor stood up, and                                  his appearance began to change.                                  Horrible scars became visible on his                                  hands and on his sandaled feet.                                  Someone from the congregation noticed                                  him and called out, 'What happened                                  to you?'
 The visitor                                  replied, as his hat became a crown of thorns,                                  and a tear fell from his eye, 'I took                                  your place.'
 When you receive this,                                  say a prayer. That's all you have to do.                                  There is nothing attached. This is                                  powerful. Just send this to four                                  people and see what happens. Maybe,                                  just maybe, we can get the world                                  to start thinking of who took our                                  place. Do not break this,                                  please..
I got this in an e mail from a friend of Grandma Tiggers.  His name is Jim and I love his e mails.  I thought I would share it with all of my blog buddies!  Brought a tear to my eye.
