LOL, LOL
I found $20 in the parking lot of the supermarket, so I thought to myself, what would Jesus do?
So I turned it into wine.

Finding $20 in a supermarket parking lot can raise ethical considerations about what to do with the money. Considering “What would Jesus do?” can guide you towards a compassionate and morally sound decision. Here are a few steps you could take, inspired by Christian principles and teachings:
1. Seek the Owner
- Look Around: Check if anyone nearby seems to be searching for something they lost.
- Report to Store Management: Hand the money over to the supermarket’s customer service or management. They can keep it in a lost and found in case someone reports it missing.
2. Help Others
- Charity: If you cannot find the owner, consider donating the money to a charitable cause. Jesus often emphasized helping the needy and giving to those less fortunate (Matthew 25:35-40).
- Acts of Kindness: Use the money to perform a random act of kindness, such as buying a meal for someone in need or contributing to a community project.
3. Reflect on Intentions
- Prayer and Reflection: Spend some time in prayer or reflection, seeking guidance on how best to use the money in a way that aligns with Christian values and teachings.
Biblical References for Guidance
- Matthew 7:12: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”
- Luke 6:31: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
- Acts 20:35: “In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
In summary, the decision should align with principles of kindness, honesty, and generosity. By either trying to return the money to its rightful owner or using it to help others, you can follow a path that reflects Jesus’ teachings and compassionate approach to life. Or like Peter said, turn it for a bottle of wine.

That’s a great joke! Here’s how you could share it:
“I found $20 in the parking lot of the supermarket, so I thought to myself, what would Jesus do? So I turned it into wine.”
This joke plays on the well-known biblical story of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding at Cana, combining it with a humorous modern twist. It’s a clever use of wordplay and a bit of cultural reference humor.
