My mom embarrassed me years ago when she called our small town post office and complained about slow package delivery. I gave the eulogy at mom ’ s memorial service, and I told the mortifying story at the chapel. Respectful laughter filled the room. However, embarrassment doesn ’ t bother you when you ’ re dead in the grave and maybe that ’ s the lesson here today. Mom loved to send packages to me in Arizona. She often mailed pencils, recipe clippings, bars of soap, cereal, odds and ends that were meaningful to her.

Hugs!
My favorite?

Of course, I also like the one about the underwear - don't ask me why - my humor's a little warped!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
How funny! I like the last one, too. It just might keep a few people from knocking on my door! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGot dirt one was my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThose are toooo funny! Thanks ever so for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteYou must think I'm awful for not responding before now! Every time I thought to pop over, something distracted me, then I had to get off the computer for a while, then I forgot, then... Just a never-ending cycle. Please know that I SOOOOO appreciate your prayers... more than I can say! Knowing that God has only good plans for me is so encouraging when things don't look so rosy. 8-]
Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^
