Everybody Needs a Little Jesus

A couple months ago a friend called and asked if I wanted to get some Indian food and run by a thrift store or two. When we got back I was getting my stuff. Her bags were on the floor too and I was separating mine out. I got my bags and pulled them out. Out of nowhere she proclaimed "Don't steal my Jesus!" 

 "Huh? " I said. "Don't take my Jesus!" she repeated. I thought maybe she was having some sort of religious episode or something. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "My Jesus is in your bag." I was still confused. I looked in the bag and laughed out loud. Turns out I'd somehow picked up this tiny figure of Jesus and it fell into my bag without me noticing. 
 

 I reached and pulled Him out. "Nice!" I said. We both believe in the actual Jesus. I don't think she thought I was stealing Little Plastic Jesus but she was giving me a tad of side-eye. "I'd never try to take Jesus out of your life" I said. "I know" she replied. "You can have Him" she said. "I don't want to take Little Jesus." She insisted firmly, and I know it's best not to fight with a woman who's trying to lay a little Jesus on you, so to speak. 

 "Thanks a bunch" I said. "I love Him." "I know" she said. With that I put little Jesus back into the bag. "Enjoyed it!" Just a bit earlier I went for a walk and was grabbing some bags to use to clean up after my dog. I checked one to make sure there was nothing in it, and there was Little Jesus. I'd forgotten about Him and I was glad to see Him again. Everyone needs a little Jesus in their life. If you ask me, I say for real.
