  1. An Old Woman's Grace

    Share Share Post
    "Thanks be to God for the good meal and the appetite to eat it."
    An old woman was asked if she was frightened during a thunderstorm, she replied:-
    Sure no a chuid, I did what my mother and grandmother before me did. I put the poker in the fire, and then put myself in the safe keeping of God, and sure He never failed anyone who trusted in Him.
