good medicine

Pastor Gary told a couple of husband-wife jokes Sunday during his first Family Month sermon last Sunday. They were really funny so I thought I'd share two I know.

Joke #1
A husband wasn't feeling well so his wife took him to the Dr. After the examination, the doc excused the husband and spoke to the wife alone. "Your husband is sick and very fragile right now. He needs extremely tender care and generous amounts of pampering if he is to survive. You must see to it his sheets are the softest cotton and they are changed every day. He must be bathed by you every evening with the utmost gentleness and then dressed in the most comfortable pj's money can buy. His meals must be homemade gourmet feasts of only his very favorite foods and it must be for all three meals, each and every day. You must run interference for him in the daily affairs of life. He must never be stressed even the tiniest bit. If you fail in even one of these areas, in either his peace of mind or his bodily comfort, your dear husband will not survive."

The wife left the Dr's office solemnly, thinking over all she'd been told and walked out to meet her husband in the waiting room. When he saw her, he asked, "What did the doctor say?" The wife looked at her husband with a tear in her eye and said, "The doctor said you're gonna die."

Joke #2
Even though Grandpa and Grandma were deaf as posts, their family came together to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. There was food, family, and fun all day and even with their hearing loss, they seemed to enjoy the long day's festivities. After everyone had hugged and said their goodbyes, and the last family member went home, Grandpa and Grandma sat in their rocking chairs on the porch, rocking rhythmically, watching the sun go down. Grandpa looked over at Grandma with her plump body, her shining white hair and the deep, smile lines all over her face. He reached over lovingly, patted her hand and said, "I love you." Grandma looked over at the old man she'd been with for all those years with his bib overalls and white hair and wrinkles and reached over and patted Grandpa's hand and said, "I'm tired of you, too."

OK, they're not nice but they ARE funny!

Sometimes we just need a good laugh. Sometimes I just need a good laugh. A cheerful heart is good medicine. Prov 17:22

Above all, God is good.
