We Will All Die Someday

"A Devoted Wife"

A woman's husband had been slipping in and
out of a coma for several months, yet she had
stayed by his bedside every single day.

One day, he motioned for her to come nearer.
As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of
tears,

"You know what? You have been with me all
through the bad times. When I got fired, you
were there to support me. When my business
failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were
by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed
right here. When my health started failing, you
were still by my side.........You know what?"

"What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her
heart began to fill with warmth.

"I think you're bad luck!"

"We Will All Die Someday"

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 know
when, but if we did we would all do a better
job of preparing ourselves for that inevitable
event."

Everybody shook 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?"

A 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 ask, "Why your mother-in-law's
home?"

Then the gentleman smiled and said, "Because,
that would be the longest 4 weeks of my life!"
