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 was so curious that 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 have 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.
