A story you should know about.. marriage.. and of course where else (email ) enjoy

Quote:


There was once a man and woman who had been married
for more than 60 ears.
They had shared everything. They had talked about
everything.

They had kept no secrets from each other except that
the little old woman
had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had
cautioned her husband never
to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the
box, but one day the
little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she
would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old
man took down the
shoebox and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed
that it was time that he
should know what was in the box.

When he opened it, he found two crocheted doilies and
a stack of money
totaling $250,000. He asked her about the contents.

"When we were to be married," she said, "my
grandmother told me the secret
of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me
that if I ever got angry with
you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily."

The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back
tears. Only two
precious doilies were in the box. She had only been
angry with him two times in all
those years of living and loving. He almost burst with
happiness.

"Honey," he said, "that explains the doilies, but what
about all of this
money? Where did it come from?"

"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling
the doilies.

A Prayer.......

Dear Lord,

I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;

Love to forgive him;

And Patience for his moods;

Because Lord, if I pray for Strength

I'll beat him to death.

Amen!
