A little joke, we need one
This will explain why our grandmothers always had those coffee cans full
of money
How to Stay Married
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They
had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had
kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a
shoebox in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband
never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but
one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said
she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the
little old man took down the shoebox and took it to his wife's bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the
box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack
of money totaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents. 'When we
were to be married,' she said, 'my grandmother told me the secr et
of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got
angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears.
Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry
with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost
burst with happiness. 'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but
what about all of this money? Where did it come from?'
'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'
A Prayer...
Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods; Because Lord, if I pray for Strength,
I'll beat him to death.
Amen
