God Bless You

A young JW couple from out of state was visiting. They had not been married for even a year, but already they had traveling stories to share. The following one stood out.

"We stopped at one of those 'All You Can Eat' places," the husband excitedly establishes the setting. "It was a Sunday morning and we decided to have breakfast before going to an afternoon meeting."

"As we were serving ourselves we noticed a large group of people had already arrived and were enjoying their meals," the wife added, "They were all well dressed and politely conversating."

"So we took our seats, gave thanks, and started eating. After a while we knew we would have to say hello to our brothers. Maybe they were just getting done with field service or coming back from their meeting. My wife and I go back to the buffet line and see some them have returned for additional helpings."

"We're all smiling at each other at this point," the sister admits, "then, an older gentleman from their group says to us, 'God bless you.'"

"Yep! Once we heard that we knew they weren't Witnesses."

"Uh-huh!" the sister laughs.

I chuckled at this and asked if they found out who they were.

"From a church I suppose," replied the husband, "but you know, even in Jesus' times, demons got all excited whenever christians spoke. It seems something riles them up and causes erratic activity. I have a feeling that in that restaurant demons quickly discovered who the true servants of Jehovah were."

What an odd way to react to someone wishing them God's blessings.
