A woman in a supermarket is following a grandfather and his badly behaved three-year-old grandson. It's obvious to her that he has his hands full with the child screaming for candy in the candy aisle, cookies in the cookie aisle and for cereal and soda in the other aisles.
Meanwhile, Granddad is working his way around, saying in a controlled voice: "Easy, William, we won't be long, easy, boy."
Another outburst, and she hears the granddad calmly say: "It's OK, William, just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of here. Hang in there, boy."
At the checkout, the little terror is throwing items out of the cart, and Granddad says again in a controlled voice: "William, William, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes; stay cool, William."
Very impressed, the woman goes outside where the grandfather is loading his groceries and the boy into the car. She says to the elderly gentleman: "It's none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it. That whole time, you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying things would be OK. William is very lucky to have you as his grandpa."
"Thanks," said the grandfather, "but I'm William. The little brat's name is Kevin."
"What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday"
"Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point. "AMEN"
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Funny
This actually happened to a good friend's daughter. She was in the grocery store with her 5 year old son in the shopping cart. She had her back turned looking for an item when he spotted a lady dressed from head to foot in a white burka with only her eyes and sandals showing.
He yelled out in a loud vouce, "MOMMA!!! IT'S JESUS!!!"
She tried to shush him to no avail. Would love to have a video of that scene. We still laugh about it when we start telling grandkid stories.
