Please Don't Laugh, Just Smile ( 22 July, 2011)

(1) "Sorry. I didn't recognize you."

As Bill was approaching mid-life, physically he was a mess. Not only was he going bald, but years of office work had given him a large pot belly. The last straw came when he asked a woman co-worker out on a date, and she all but laughed at him. That does it, he decided. I'm going to start a whole new regimen. He began attending aerobics classes. He started working out with weights. He changed his diet. And he got an expensive hair transplant.

In six months, he was a different man. Again, he asked his female co-worker out, and this time she accepted. 

There he was, all dressed up for the date, looking better than he ever had. 

He stood poised to ring the woman's doorbell, when a bolt of lightning
struck him and knocked him off his feet. As he lay there dying,
he turned his eyes toward the heavens and said, 

"Why, God, why now? After all I've been through, how could you do this to me?"
From up above, there came a voice, 

"Sorry. I didn't recognize you."

(2) Forgive us our our trash

One particular four-year old prayed, 

"And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

(3) Minister's prayers

Minister's prayer 

"May the members of my congregation be as free with their money as they are with their advice, 

and may their minds be open as their mouths".

(4)The little boys prayer

There were these two boys who lived with their Grandma. They were about to go to bed but before they slept they prayed. The older son started to pray. He prayed about the day he had and about everything he had done. The younger son then started to pray, he prayed much louder than his elder brother, he prayed for bikes and toys, and when he finished the older brother asked him "Why are you praying so loud? God is not deaf" and the younger son responded and said " Yea but Grandma is"
