A story which made me Laugh !!
A Curious Funeral Procession
One morning, as a man was leaving a café with his coffee, he noticed a very unusual funeral procession.
At the front was a coffin, followed by a second coffin about 50 feet behind. Behind the second coffin, a solitary man walked quietly, accompanied by a black dog. What caught the man’s attention even more was the long line of 200 men following behind in single file.
Curiosity got the better of him, so he approached the man with the dog and said, "I’m sorry for your loss, and I know this isn’t the best time—but I’ve never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"
The man replied, "The first coffin is for my wife."
Intrigued, the curious man asked, "What happened to her?"
The man sighed and said, "My dog attacked and killed her."
Shocked, the onlooker asked, "And the second coffin?"
The man responded, "That’s my mother-in-law—she was trying to help my wife when the dog attacked and killed her too."
A moment of silence followed as the first man processed the information. Then, with a spark of excitement, he asked, "Can I borrow the dog?"
Without missing a beat, the man replied, "Get in line."

A Boy who asked me a surprising question
During the intermission of the movie Blue, a 4-year-old boy asked, "Excuse me, is this the 'Shark Movie?' Did you see my fat mother?" He was looking for his mom, who was nowhere to be found at the time. By the end of the intermission, he successfully found her!
When I asked if he saw any sharks in the movie, he replied, "Yes, in the beginning... but did you see my fat mother?"
What a smart little one!

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Once you understand the purpose, you will know how to treat them.
When someone enters your life for a REASON, it is often to fulfill a need you've expressed. They might help you through a challenge, provide guidance, or offer emotional or spiritual support. They may seem like a blessing, and in a way, they are. But when their role is done—whether through words, actions, or timing—the relationship comes to an end. Sometimes they leave, sometimes they pass away, or sometimes they force you to make a difficult choice. Remember, their work is complete, and it’s time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON. During this time, they bring peace, laughter, or experiences that help you grow. They may teach you something new or fill you with joy. These moments are real, but they are meant to be temporary.
LIFETIME relationships, however, teach you lifelong lessons. These lessons help you build a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to embrace those lessons, love the person, and apply what you’ve learned in all other relationships and areas of your life.
As it is said, "Love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant."
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my life—whether for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. To all my friends, I appreciate you!
