An elderly lady was well-known for her faith and for her boldness in talking about it. She would stand on her front porch and shout, \"PRAISE THE LORD!\"
Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, \"There isn't no Lord! !\"
Hard times set in on the elderly lady, and she prayed for GOD to send her some assistance. She stood on her porch and shouted, \"PRAISE THE LORD. GOD I NEED FOOD!! I AM HAVING A HARD TIME. PLEASE LORD, SEND ME SOME GROCERIES ! !\"
The next morning the lady went out on her porch and noted a large bag of groceries and shouted, \"PRAISE THE LORD.\"
The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, \"Aha! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries, God didn't.\"
The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and said, \"PRAISE THE LORD. He not only sent me groceries, but He made the devil pay for them. Praise the Lord!\"
非常虔誠的女人
一位老年婦女因虔誠的信仰和敢于沒完沒了地表達自己的信仰而出名。她經常站在她家前廊上大聲呼喊:“感謝上帝!”
她家隔壁住著一位無神論者,每一次聽到她叫喊都火冒三丈,于是就大聲叫道:“根本就沒有上帝!!”
后來,這位老婦的日子變得艱難起來,她祈禱上帝幫助她,她站在前廊上,大聲叫道:“感謝上帝!上帝,我需要食物!!我的處境艱難。上帝啊,請給我些食物吧!!”
第二天早上,那老婦來到前廊,見到一大袋食物,她叫喊道:“感謝上帝!”
那位鄰居從灌木叢后跳出來說:“啊哈!我告訴過你沒有上帝。這些食物是我買來的,不是上帝送的。”
那老婦聽后一邊上下跳動,一邊鼓掌,并說道:“感謝上帝!他不僅給我送來食物,還讓魔鬼付錢。感謝上帝!”
