Man Becoming His Wife

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. 

He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:

'Dear Lord:

I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through.

So please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. His wish was granted.

The next morning sure enough the man awoke as a woman. He arose cooked breakfast for his mate awakened the kids set out their school clothes fed them breakfast packed their lunches drove them to school came home and picked up the dry cleaning took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a deposit went grocery shopping then drove home to put away the groceries. 

Then it was already 1 PM and he hurried to make the beds do the laundry vacuum dust sweep and mop the kitchen floor ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home,

set out milk and cookies and got the kids to do their homework.

Then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad breaded the beef chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.

After supper he cleaned the kitchen ran the dishwasher folded laundry bathed the kids and put them to bed.

At 9 PM exhausted and though his daily chores weren't finished he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: - 

Lord I don't know what I was thinking I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day! Please, Oh! Please let us trade back, Amen!'

His prayer was answered thus,

"My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be here to change things back to the way they were. But you'll have to wait nine months, though “You got pregnant last night"

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
