A loud pounding on the door awakened a man and his wife at 3:00 am. The man got up and went to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, asked for a push.
"Not a chance," said the husband, "it's 3:00 in the morning!" He then slammed the door and returned to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answered.
"Did you help him?" she asked.
"No, I did not, it's 3 in the morning and it's pouring rain out there!"
"Well. . .some Christian you are! Do you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and two guys helped us? I think you should be ashamed of yourself! God loves drunk people too, you know."
The man felt guilty. So, he got dressed, went out, and called out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?
"Yes," came back the answer.
"Do you still need a push?" called out the husband.
"Yes, please!" came the reply from the dark.
"Where are you?" asked the husband.
"Over here on the swing," replied the drunk.
