Porch Prayer Blessings
I know of a Christian woman,
she had moved to the suburbs by choice;
and every morning, on her front porch...
..she'd holler, "Praise God !", at the top of her voice.
Turns out, the man next door was an Atheist,
and upon hearing this woman, he'd shout...
.."There is no god up in heaven,
you don't know what you are talkin' about!"
Well, their feud went on, month after month,
even though she was not in the mood;
For she had lost her full-time job,
so she'd praise God, then ask for some food.
The next day, she went to her porch,
and all the way up to her knees,
were piles and piles of canned goods;
and various groceries !
She screamed out a prayer of thanks to God,
knowing full well, He had answered her prayer;
but, the Atheist laughed, and ran to her porch
and exclaimed, "I put those groceries there !"
Well, the woman just smiled, from ear to ear...
..and thanked God again, for the day.
For not only had God blessed her with all this food...
..He had also made the devil, pay !
she had moved to the suburbs by choice;
and every morning, on her front porch...
..she'd holler, "Praise God !", at the top of her voice.

and upon hearing this woman, he'd shout...

were piles and piles of canned goods;
