How to stay together

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They
had shared everything, talked about everything and had kept no
secrets from each other ... except that the little old woman had a
shoebox in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband
never

To open or ask her about.. Through 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 shoebox 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 2 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 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.
