There's Nothing Like A Good Laugh Friday ~:D

Taking It With You

There once was a rich man who was near death.
He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money
and he wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven.
So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him.

An angel hears his plea and appears to him.
"Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you."
The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules.


The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow him.
The angel reappears and informs the man that God has decided
to allow him to take one suitcase with him.
Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure
gold bars and places it beside his bed.


Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven
to greet St. Peter. St. Peter seeing the suitcase says,
"Hold on, you can't bring that in here!"


But, the man explains to St. Peter that he has permission and asks
him to verify his story with the Lord.
Sure enough, St. Peter checks and comes back saying, "You're right.
You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its
contents before letting it through."


St. Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the
man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims,
"You brought pavement?!!!"

Praise the Lord!

There's a little old Christian lady living next door to an atheist.
Every morning the lady comes out onto her front porch and shouts
"Praise the Lord!".

The atheist yells back, "There is no God".


She does this every morning with the same result.
As time goes on, the lady runs into financial difficulties and has trouble buying food.
She goes out onto the porch and asks God for help with groceries, then says
"Praise the Lord".


The next morning she goes out onto the porch and there's the groceries she asked for, and of course, she shouts
"Praise the Lord!!!".


The atheist jumps out from behind a bush and says,
"Ha, I bought those groceries - there is no God".


The lady looks at him and smiles, she shouts
"Praise the Lord, not only did you provide for me Lord, you made Satan pay for the groceries!!"
