The following is not a joke (so it doesn't fit on the joke thread) so I hope it's ok to post here. I'm sure most have seen it or something like it before, but sometimes we need to be reminded of these things.




There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things 'in order,' she contacted her Pastor to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes.

She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.

Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.

'There's one more thing,' she said excitedly.

'What's that?' came the Pastor's reply.

'I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.'

The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing
quite what to say.

That surprises you, doesn't it?' the young woman asked.

I'm puzzled by the request,' said the Pastor.

The young woman explained. 'My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement. In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocol ate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!'

So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder 'What's with the fork?' Then I want you to tell them: 'Keep your fork the best is yet to come.'

The Pastor's eyes welled up with tears
of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge. She KNEW that something better was coming.

At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket andsaw the fork in her right hand. Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, 'What's with the fork?' And over and over he smiled.

During his message, the Pastor told the people of
the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her. He told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.

He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is yet to come.

Hey y'all!

a quick update: I got a partial refund from the lady that I was going to rent from... went through attorneys and such... Finally picked that up today... I was going to file in court, but I'm just so done with it. I decided to take what her attorney offered of half the rent back and the other half of the deposit.

On brighter news, I sign a lease and get the keys to a nice 1 bedroom apartment tomorrow in a locked complex! I'm pretty excited, though I know I'm going to be exhausted cuz I have to work every day and want to be completely moved by Sunday night. (Somebody slap me... I think I'm nuts!)

On even better news... my dad and his chick are comin to town! They will be here for only one day, but I haven't seen my dad in a year, so I'm thrilled! Tuesday is the day!

And just as great.... I officially have my own internet! YAY!

Okay, here's "Tink's Embarrassing Story For The Day" *clears throat* Upon the advice of a former good friend, I decided to grab a bite to eat and sit outside. One of the guys here in the office joined me so we ventured to the cafeteria, grabbed some sandwiches and made ourselves comfy under a nice shade tree. I didn't get my first bite of sandwhich when I felt something wet on my head and my friend's eyes went wide.

Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen; a bird pooped on me. *groan*

I thought he was going to DIE laughing! After attempting to smack him senseless we wandered around until we found someone with shampoo that I could borrow and wash the poop out of my hair. *sigh*

Thank GOD my office is pretty closed in and I don't have to deal with people too often, but STILL! I scrubbed it then shoved it back in a bun to be dealt with when I get home.

Needless to say the suggestor is going to get an earful when I get a chance to vent. *glares pointedly*
