"Praise the Lord!"

Thanks to Esther for posting this gem at her blog.

There was a little old lady who was very spiritual who would step out on her porch every day, raise her arms to the sky and yell, "Praise the Lord!" One day, an atheist bought the house next door to her, and he became very irritated with the spiritual lady. So after a month or so of her yelling "Praise the Lord" from her porch, he went outside on his porch and yelled back, "There is no Lord!"

Yet, the little old lady continued. One cold, wintry day, when the little old lady couldn't get to the store, she went out on her porch, raised her hands up to the sky and said, "Help me, Lord; I have no more money, it's cold, and I have no more food."

The next morning, she went outside, and there were three bags of food on the porch, enough to last her a week. "Praise the Lord!" she yelled.

The atheist stepped out from the bushes and said, "There is no Lord; Ha! Ha! Ha!, I bought those groceries!"

The little old lady raised her arms to the sky and said,"Praise the Lord, You sent me groceries and You made the Devil pay for them!"
