Body: WIFE'S SECRET
>
> A man and woman 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 $95,000.
>
> 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 doll, 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, because I don't know how to crochet!
