McDonald's Employee Gives Simple Testimony

Greg Huffer of Lebanon, Indiana writes:

On a road trip, I stopped at a McDonald's drive-thru for lunch. After placing my order, I came to the drive-up window to pay. I noticed an attractive, hand-carved cross hanging from the woman's neck, so I commented, "I like your cross."

Her reply was a lesson to me in how simple it is to share one's testimony. She said: "Thank you. And I like the person who died on it for my sins. And I love the person who rose from the grave after having died on the cross."

She easily could have left it at "Thank you." But her faithful witness touched me and drew me even closer to the Lord that day.
