Porch Prayer

(Oh, Auntie Lil, when we get to heaven, I want to sit next to you so I'll always be laughing!)

There was a little old lady
who every morning stepped onto her front porch,
raised her arms to the sky & shouted:
"PRAISE THE LORD!"

One day an atheist moved into the house next door
He became irritated at the little old lady.
Every morning he'd step onto his front porch after her & yell:
"THERE IS NO LORD!"

Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way every day.

One morning, in the middle of winter,
the little old lady stepped onto her front porch & shouted:
"PRAISE THE LORD! Please Lord,
I have no food & I am starving. Provide for me, oh Lord!"

The next morning she stepped out onto her porch
& there were two huge bags of groceries sitting there.
"PRAISE THE LORD!" she cried out.
"HE HAS PROVIDED GROCERIES FOR ME!"

The atheist neighbor jumped out of the hedges, shouting:
"THERE IS NO LORD. I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES!"

The little old lady threw her arms into the air & shouted:
"PRAISE THE LORD! HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH GROCERIES
& MADE THE DEVIL PAY FOR THEM!"

Go on and laugh. No matter what you believe, you know you wanna laugh!
