Blessing

"Blessing"

A young minister sitting down to dinner
was about to say Grace when he opened
the casserole dish that his thrifty bride
had prepared from countless refrigerator
leftovers.

"I don't know," he said dubiously. "It seems
to me that I've blessed all this stuff before."

"Four Weeks Left"

A Bible study group was discussing the unforeseen
possibility of their sudden death. The leader of the
discussion said, "We will all die some day, and
none of us really knows when, but if we did we
would all do a better job of preparing ourselves
for that inevitable event." Everybody nodded their
heads in agreement with this comment.

Then the leader said to the group, "What would
you do if you knew you only had 4 weeks of life
remaining before your death, and then the Great
Judgment Day?"

One gentleman said, "I would go out into my
community and minister the Gospel to those
that have not yet accepted the Lord into their lives."

"Very good," said the group leader, and all the
group members agreed that would be a very
good thing to do.

One lady spoke up and said enthusiastically, "I
would dedicate all of my remaining time to serving
G~d, my family, my church, and my fellow man with
a greater conviction."

"That's wonderful!" the group leader commented,
and all the group members agreed that would be
a very good thing to do.

But one gentleman in the back finally spoke up
loudly and said, "I would go to my mother-in-law's
house for the 4 weeks." Everyone was puzzled by
this answer, and the group leader asked, "Why
your mother-in-law's home?" Then the gentleman
smiled and said, "Because, that would be the
longest 4 weeks of my life!"
