The Hereafter

Her minister told an eighty-year-old woman that, at her age, she should be giving some thought to what he called “the hereafter.”

She said to him, “I think about it many times a day.”

“Oh, really?” said the minister. “That is very wise.”

“It’s not a matter of wisdom,” she replied. “It’s when I open a drawer or a closet, I ask myself, ‘What am I here after?’”

*****

I can vouch that you don’t need to be 80 years old to do this! 

Have a great weekend!

The Pastor and His Son

About 10 minutes into his sermon a pastor noticed his young son was in the balcony with a pea-shooter.

The lad was leaning over the balcony – aiming, and popping people in the head.

As the pastor was about to publicly scold his boy – the 7 year old hollered out, “You keep preaching dad. I’ll keep ‘em awake”

*****

Oh my goodness!  Front row center for this boy from now on!  lol

Have a lovely weekend!  First of Spring!  Enjoy!

March 18, 2020

I had a dream that he popped out of the kids’ closet, kind of like for a scare-cam.  He was doing like a “jazz hands” kind of move and making a silly face so that I’d be laughing too hard to be mad at him.  This was one of his typical moves, in real life, to make me laugh when he’d scare-cam me.  In the dream, I gasped as soon as I saw him, and threw my arms around him, and then I woke up.

I told the kids the other day that I bet he was planning on doing some kind of scare-cam thing for when I got to Heaven, and I wouldn’t put it past him to do just that, try to make me think he didn’t make it there and then jump out at me. 

Then I had another dream in which we were having this conversation about being introverts.  The conversation happened some time ago in real life, but replaying it in the dream made me kind of laugh again.  We’d been talking about how the Lord is all about people, the body of Christ, reaching out to and ministering to others.  He said once, “Heaven is going to suck!  It’s all about how extroverted can you be and I’m not!  I’m going to hate it, I just know it!”

I replied, “What, do you think you’re going to get your own private cloud or something?”

“That’s what I want!” he said in a bit of a pout, “My own private cloud.”

I told him, “Well, I think there’s a verse in there where Y’shua said there were many mansions and if He’s preparing a place for you, He knows how introverted you are, I mean, He did make you after all, so I wouldn’t worry too much about peopling or clouds.  I’m just sayin’.”

He retorted, “With my luck, I’ll get the dorm mansion.”

He always had to have a comeback, that man!

In the dream, he floated past me on his own private cloud and called out, “We DO get our own space, Babe!”  He gave me a victory fist pump  gesture and I laughed.  That’s where I woke up.

A couple weeks ago, I dozed off at my desk, and had a dream that he came over and was tickling me to make me laugh. 

We put a lot of stock in dreams, my husband and I.  As to whether or not my current ones have any meaning, I’m not going there.  I will just say I’m so happy to see him again, even if it’s only in dreams right now.

Acts 4:10,12

Acts 4:10,12“then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.””

Dreaming of Diamonds

On Christmas morning a woman told her husband, “I just dreamed that you gave me a beautiful diamond necklace.  What do you think it means?”

“You’ll know tonight,” he said.

That evening just before opening presents, the husband came home with a small package and gave it to his wife.

Delighted, she opened it only to find a book entitled “The Meaning of Dreams.”

*****

Well now there you go.  Although, I would like to know what bookstore that man found open on Christmas.  😉

Have an amazing weekend!

The Shamrock Personality Test

Well.  I try to be loving.  I usually fail, but I try. 
However, I am not lucky.  Not Irish enough, I guess!  lol

All rights reserved by Vanessence

Your Shamrock Says You Are Loving

You are balanced, nurturing, and sympathetic. You understand people and love to help them.

At times, you get too involved with what’s going on in other people’s lives. It’s hard to remove yourself.

You consider yourself a lucky person. Luck always seems to be on your side.

You are stylish, in a classic sort of way. You are particular about how you like things.

On a trip to Russia

Four  Americans spies find themselves in a sleeper cabin on a train to Moscow. One of the men thought it would be funny to play a trick on the other three. He goes out to the tea cart and asks for 4 cups of tea to be delivered to his cabin in 10 minutes.

Returning to his cabin, he spoke to his bunk mates about how the Russians will bug everything, and they listen to every word said anywhere. His roommates argued that although the Russians were careful they couldn’t listen to everything. The first man said, “I’ll prove it, Hello Commodore, can we get 4 cups of tea?” not a minute passed and there is a knock on the door with the tea cart delivering tea.

The rest of the evening the other 3 men were very quiet and nervous. As morning rolled around the first man found he was the only one in the room. Opening the door he found a Russian guard outside the door. “Do you know what happened to my bunkmates? he asked.

“Secret police came in night, and took them because they are spies, you are free to go.” the Russian replied.

“Why did they leave me?” he asked curiously.

“Commodore liked your joke about the tea.”

*****

*snort*  Okay, now this was funny.  😀

Have an epic weekend!
