DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT FRIDAY - A CHEERFUL HEART. #22.

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.. - Pro 17:22. TNIV

This has been an interesting week, and a very short one, owing to the Easter Holidays, Friday – Monday. It was great to be able to share this with some of our children and grandchildren. We had a wonderful Easter service, and fellowship at Church on Sunday, followed by a wonderful lunch, including Champagne and Fresh Oysters, Oysters Kilpatrick, Wild Salmon and Asparagus, and delicious individual Pavlova’s to finish the meal off! What a way to celebrate Resurrection Sunday! Praise the wonderful name of Jesus! So, let’s have a laugh to get this weekend started…

Want a Push?
A man is in bed with his wife when he hears a rat-a-tat-tat on the front door. He rolls over, looks at the clock and sees that it's three o'clock in the morning. "What idiot would be knocking at the door at this hour?" thinks the man, and he rolls over and tries to go back to sleep.

After a few minutes, there's a louder knock on the door. "Aren't you going to see who it is?" asks his wife, so the man drags himself out of bed and goes downstairs. He opens the door to find a stranger standing outside.
"Eh mate," says the stranger, "Can you give us a push?"
"No! Get lost! It's three in the morning. I was sleeping," says the man and shuts the door.

He goes back to bed and tells his wife what happened. She says, "Remember that night when we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick up the kids from the babysitter and you had to knock on that man's door to get him to help us? What would have happened if he'd told us to 'get lost'?"

So the man gets out of bed again, gets dressed and goes downstairs. He opens the door and, not being able to see the stranger anywhere, he shouts, "Hey. Do you still want a push?"
A voice cries out, "Yes please, mate."
So, still being unable to see the stranger the man shouts, "Where are you?"
"I'm over here on the swings."

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

WISDOM:
An angel appears at a faculty meeting and tells the dean that in return for his unselfish and exemplary behavior, the Lord will reward him with his choice of infinite wealth, wisdom or beauty. Without hesitating, the dean selects infinite wisdom.

"Done!" says the angel, and disappears in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of lightning. Now, all heads turn toward the dean, who sits surrounded by a faint halo of light. At length, one of his colleagues whispers, "Say something."

The dean looks at them and says, "I should have taken the money."
