There was once a small rural community--so small, in fact, that the only church in town was a small Baptist church whose pastor had to double up as
the local barber to make ends meet.
A man living in this small community had invested wisely and was enjoying his newfound comfort. This man got out of bed one day to go through his
daily routine. He looked into the mirror as he was about to shave and said to himself, "I make enough money now that I don't have to shave myself.
I'll go down to the barber and let him shave me from now on." So he did.
He walked into the barber shop and found the preacher/barber was out calling on shut-ins. The barber's wife, Grace, said, "I usually do the shaves
anyway. Sit down and I'll shave you." So he did.
She shaved him and he asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"Twenty-five dollars," Grace replied. The man thought that was somewhat expensive and that he might have to get a shave every other day. Nonetheless,
he paid Grace and went on his way.
The next day, he woke up and found his face to be just as smooth as the day before. No need for a shave today, he thought. Well, it was a $25
shave.
The next day he awoke to find his face as smooth as a baby's bottom. Wow! he thought. It amazed him, as he normally would need to shave daily to keep
his clean-shaven business look.
Day 3, he woke up and his face was still as smooth as the minute after Grace had finished. Now, somewhat perplexed, the man went down to the barber
shop to ask some questions.
This particular day, the pastor was in, and the man asked him why his face was as smooth as it was the first day it was shaven.
The kind old pastor gently explained, "Friend, you were shaved by Grace, and once shaved, always shaved."
Received from Pastor Tim.
