A Woman Secret .. and her Prayer
There was once a man and woman who had been married
for more than 60 years. They had shared everything.
They had talked about everything.
They had kept no secrets from each other except that
the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her
closet that she had cautioned her husband never to
open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had
never thought about the box, but one day the little
old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would
not recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old
man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's
bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should
know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found
two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling
$25,000. He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married," she said, "my
grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was
to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry
with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a
doll." The little old man was so moved; he had to
fight back tears.
Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only
been angry with him two times in all those years of
living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.
"Honey," he said, "that explains the dolls, but what
about all of this money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling
all the dolls.

A Prayer.
Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods;
because Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death.
