A Woman's secret and prayer

A Woman's 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 womanhad a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husbandnever 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 anda stack of moneytotaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secretof a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever gotangry 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 twoprecious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two timesin all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness......
"Honey," he said, "that explains the dolls, but what about all of thismoney? 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.
