A marriage

[Daff]

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared
everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from
each other except that the wife had a shoebox in the top of her closet that
she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of
those years, he had never bothered about the box, but one day the wife got
very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the husband 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 dolls and a stack of money totaling
$95,000.

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 doll."

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

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

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

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. And I don't know how to crochet. Amen!
