After
a long illness, a woman died and arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While
she was waiting for Saint Peter to greet her, she peeked through the
Gates. She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around were her
parents and all the other people she had loved and who had died before
her.
They saw her and began calling greetings to her – “Hello” “How are you!
We’ve been waiting for you!” “Good to see you”.
When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him “This is such a
Wonderful place! How do I get in?”
“You have to spell a word”, Saint
Peter told her.
“Which word?” the woman asked.
“Love.”
The woman correctly spelled “Love” and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven.
About six months later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to
watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day.
While the woman was
guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived.
“I’m surprised to see you”, the woman said. “How have you been?”
“Oh, I’ve been doing pretty well since you died,” her husband told
her. “I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you
were ill. And then I won the lottery. I sold the little house you and I
lived in and bought a big mansion. And my wife and I traveled all
around the world. We were on vacation and I went water skiing today. I
fell, the ski hit my head, and here I am. How do I get in?”
“You have to spell a word”, the woman told him.
“Oh Which word is that?” her husband asked.
“Czechoslovakia.”she said.
Everybody have a groovy weekend!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: Sometimes it is so hard to wait. To wait for new things to happen in my life. To wait for you to answer my prayers. To wait for the open doors that may lead me into a new way of being. During the time of waiting, it seems that all I can think of is having what it is I am waiting for. At times I feel weary of asking and waiting, and I wonder if you really hear my prayers at all, if you are ignoring me, or if you are simply refusing to give me my heart’s desire. A part of me knows that you want my best, and that your time is not my time, but Lord, it is still so hard to wait. Deepen my trust, O Lord, during the times when my heart longs for what can only come in the fullness of time. Give me a calm assurance that your will for me is grander than anything I could ever imagine. Still my mind and heart in your love so that I am mindful of the grace you are draping around me every single day, every single moment. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
