One
day a little boy woke up and sat down at the table expecting breakfast.
However, his mother says, “You don’t get any breakfast until you do your
chores.”
A little upset, the boy goes out to do his chores. When he
goes to milk the cow, he kicks it. When he goes to get eggs he kicks a
chicken, and when he goes to feed the pigs, he kicks a pig.
When the little boy sits down his mother gives him a
bowl of dry cereal. “Where is the bacon, eggs and milk?” asks the
little boy.
His mother replies, “I saw you kick the cow, so you don’t
get any milk, I saw you kick a chicken so you don’t get eggs, and I saw
you kick a pig so you don’t get any bacon!”
Just as she finishes
saying this, the boy’s father comes down the stairs, trips over the
family's pussy cat then turns around and kicks it.
The little boy looks up at his mother with a big grin and asks, “Do you want to tell him, or should I?”
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.
