Nun Too Resourceful

"Nun Too Resourceful"

A nun who works for a local home health care agency
was out making her rounds when she ran out of gas.
As luck would have it there was a station just down the
street. She walked to the station to borrow a can with
enough gas to start the car and drive to the station for
a fill up.

The attendant regretfully told her that the only can he
owned had just been loaned out, but if she would care
to wait he was sure it would be back shortly. Since the
nun was on the way to see a patient she decided not to
wait and walked back to her car

After looking through her car for something to carry to the
station to fill with gas, she spotted a bedpan she was
taking to the patient. Always resourceful, she carried it to
the station and filled it with gasoline.

As she was pouring the gas into the tank of her car two
men walked by. One was heard to exclaim, "Now that is
what I call faith!"

"On Second Thought"

A boy that was being raised in a very religious family asked his
mother for a new bike. His mother said, "Son, we pray to Jesus when
we want something really badly." So the son thought that praying
wouldn't be enough, so he sat down and began to write Jesus a letter:

"Dear Jesus, If I am good for a whole month, would you please send
me a bike?" Then he sat there and thought to himself, "A month is a
long time." And he began to write again:

"Dear Jesus, If I am good for a whole week......" Then he sat there
and thought to himself, "A week is a long time." And he began to
write again:

"Dear Jesus, If I am good for a whole day, would you please send me
a bike?" Satisfied with this, the boy began to walk to the mailbox to
mail the letter to Jesus. As he approached the mailbox, he looked at
the envelope the letter was in...then, he tore it to shreds.

He ran home and took the statue of the Virgin Mary his grandmother
had given him off of his bureau. He proceeded to wrap a shoelace
tightly around the small statue and place it in a shoe box. He then
threw the shoe box into his closet and sat down and wrote another
letter"

"Dear Jesus, I have your mother!"
