Funeral Procession

[Grandpa Weatherbie]

Don't skip the prayer at the end, it's priceless.

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 fifty feet behind the first one.
Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her were about 200 women walking single file.

The woman couldn't stand her curiosity. She respectfully approached the woman walking the dog an said; "I'm sorry for your loss, I know it's a bad time to disturb you, but I have never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"

"My husbands."

"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 replied, "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."

Dear Lord, I pray for:

Wisdom, to understand a man. Love to forgive him; and, patience for his moods. Because if I pray for strength I'll just beat him to death.
