I received this email today.

I thought it was hysterical!!

I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a

particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman

who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. I took out

my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this

money, will you buy some wine with it instead of dinner?

""No, I had to stop drinking years ago", the homeless

woman told me."Will you use it to go shopping instead

of buying food?" I asked. "No, I don't waste time shopping,

" the homeless woman said."I need to spend all my time

trying to stay alive.""Will you spend this on a beauty salon

instead of food?" I asked."Are you NUTS!" replied the

homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!

""Well," I said, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead,

I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me

tonight."The homeless Woman was shocked. "Won't your

husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty,

and I probably smell pretty disgusting. "I said, "That's okay.

It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after

she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine."

There can be no testimony without a test.
I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
