A
woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee when
she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby
cemetery. A long black hearse was followed by a second long black
hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse
was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a
short distance back, were about 200 women walking single file. The
woman couldn't stand her curiosity. She, respectfully, approached
the woman walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your
loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never
seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"
"My
husband's."
"What happened to him?"
The woman replied, "My dog
attacked and killed him."
She inquired further, "Well,
who is in the second hearse?"
The woman answered, "My
mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned
on her."
A poignant and thoughtful moment of
silence passed between the two women.
"Can
I borrow the dog?"
"Get in line."
A
Woman's Prayer
Dear Lord, I pray for
Wisdom, To understand a man
Love, To forgive him and
Patience, For his moods
Because, Lord, if I pray for
Strength
I'll just beat him to death.
