The unspoken word

A Pastor had noticed that one of his church members had not been attending church for 3 weeks. The pastor called him and spoke with the gentleman several times to keep in touch, but every Sunday he expected to see him, the member did not show up.

The pastor decided to just pop in and see him one Saturday. When the pastor arrived the member invited him in they spoke briefly and they both sat in front of the fire place and watched the glow and felt the warmth of the fire. Several minutes passed as the pastor and the member sat never saying a word. The pastor walked to the fire place where a intense flame was flickering. The pastor grabbed a poker and he pulled a single amber of coal and set it aside from the other. The fire continued burning even after the single piece was pulled out... They both watched as the single piece of coal eventually burned out.

The pastor then grabbed the poker and moved the single coal back with the other pieces, and within a few minutes the coal had began to burn brightly again. The pastor sat for a few more minutes and said " thanks for the visit, I got to go".

When they made it to the door the member told the pastor "thanks for the unspoke word", I will be at church tomorrow!
