MAMA & HER BIBLE
Four brothers left home for college, and
they became successful doctors and lawyers and they
prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner
together. They discussed the gifts they were able to
give their elderly mother who lived far away in another
city.
The first said "I had a big house built for
Mama."
The second said "I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built
in the house."
The third said "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600
to her."
The fourth said, "You know how Mama loved reading the Bible
and you know she can't read anymore because she can't see
very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot
that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 preachers 12
years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a
year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mama
just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will
recite it."
The other brothers were
impressed.
After the holidays Mom sent out her Thank You
notes.
She wrote: " Milton , the house you built is so huge. I
live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house.
Thanks anyway."
"Marvin,
I am too old to travel. I stay home; I have my
groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes.
The thought was good..
Thanks."
"Michael,
you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it
could hold 50 people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost
my hearing and I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it.
Thank you for the gesture just the same."
"Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to
give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was
delicious.
Thank you."
A little humor to brighten your day
GOD BLESS!
