by Michael
It was July and I had nothing to post on the blog for the next day. I was talking to Michael on the phone and he was going thru his "stuff" trying to find something for me. He came upon this and read it to me. I laughed because only he could make this funny. I told him to send it to me and I'd post it in December. Then I prayed he'd still be with us. He's not here physically, but I know he's with us in spirit~
Well God certainly had a sense of humor….sending Joseph
and Mary into JRS….losing their luggage…and where the only way to get to
Bethlehem was by renting a donkey….. and the only one available was so broken down
it could only carry one….making Mary have to walk because of Joseph’s club foot……yeah…that’s a little
known fact.
Only to arrive and find their hotel reservation botched
so that they had to stay in a barn with farm animals!
And then to top it all off only 3 people show up for the
baby shower…..late…..so Mary is having to open gifts and put on her happy face
after walking all the way from JRS…having her luggage lost and having to stay
in a barn……pretty remarkable woman I’d say.
Mary: oh look Joe……frankincense…..ya know…I was just
saying to Joe the other day that we needed to pick up some of this! We are
completely out!
Joe: that’s right honey…you did say that! Thanks King
Caspar !
Mary: oh and what have we here? MYRRH!!! Well you
certainly can’t have enough of this around with a new baby!!
Joe: that’s for sure! Thanks King Melchior!
At this point Mary is becoming a little disgruntled at
the selection of gifts…..I mean…not a single “Swaddle”™ or anything else baby
related!!
But King Balthasar still hadn’t handed over his gift……and
when he did and Mary opened it and saw that it was just a lump of gold….that
did it!
OK! Party’s over! Get out! I don’t care if you traversed
field and fountain, moor and 100 friggin mountains! Get out! And don’t leave the way
you came……my luck you will tip off that fucker King Herod!
I am tired, I am dirty, and if you hadn’t noticed….Jesus
is crowning!!
Thanks for coming……nice seeing you…….buh-bye!!!!!!!
Mary: Joseph!!!!!
Joseph: yes dear?
Mary: get away from that goat and Rub my feet!!!!!
Joseph: yes dear?
Mary: get away from that goat and Rub my feet!!!!!
Thank you Tina for posting this...
ReplyDeleteWhile reading this I read "Dee Dee's" humor that made me laugh so many times...
Today I feel honored to be the "Pretty One" for I was blessed by coming here for a long time and just reading...
Michael's humor was exceptional in so many ways and many of you knew it more than me. You all were blessed to have your memories.
Today was the first day that I have felt pretty good when I woke. The pneumonia might be letting up and allowing me to breath a little better.
Maybe it was Michael that brought me here to help me get better.
Beautiful post Tina from your dear friend MICHAEL....
Tina, That was totally sacrilegious, and I really didn't want to laugh, but we all know I did. I wanted to be indignant, but again, we all know I couldn't pull THAT off. I imagined Michael reading that to you. It is so his sense of humor. And I, too, know his spirit is with us. Thanks for sharing it with us. ♥
ReplyDeleteGloria, You are indeed our prettiest today. I'm glad you are feeling better. Hopefully you will be back to normal (whatever that is) very soon. ;-)
ReplyDeleteJodi, Thanks for trying to protect us from your germs. I'll just stay here on this upper branch. tyvm
ReplyDeleteLynn, Thinkin' 'bout ya. ♥
ReplyDeleteTINA: You know what made me laugh? JRS. I don't know why..but when I saw the airline code..or whatever it's called..for Jerusalem..I just cracked up! I can hear MICHAEL's voice throughout this entire blog..and it made me smile. Except that JRS..that made me LOL.. :D
ReplyDeleteGLORIA: You are looking absolutely beautiful today. I'm glad you're feeling better. :)
BARB: You might want to move up a branch..I think I'm getting bronchitis..I'm hoping it's just allergies and asthma tho..fingers crossed!! :)
Have a good day everyone..stay warm!
Gloria You are glorious in first today. I'm so glad you are feeling better. Here's hoping you are 100% by Christmas.
ReplyDeleteTina That was great! That had Michael written all over it. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteSacBarb I can hear you laughing. Is that confession worthy? ;)
ReplyDeleteZona The JRS was a great touch, wasn't it? Too funny! I hope you feel better soon. Don't you have lots of baking to do this weekend?
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like Gloria, HOdi, and Zona are all on the infirmary branches. Tis the season, I guess. I hope everyone feels better soon. I'm over on the rehab branch with Dianne. We're doing our exercises. Hope we aren't making the whole tree shake with our efforts.
ReplyDeleteLynnD (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteJ/L, It probably is confession worthy. Tina, what do you think?
ReplyDeleteHi Gloria, sorry you aren't feeling well.
ReplyDeleteJustLin,I think I will slide over to the "rehab" side, and up a branch or two! I have been unusually healthy lately *quickly looking for something wooden to tap on*
Tina, I cannot think of Dee Dee/Michael without thinking of " Mrs Doughtfire lol"! I miss the part of him that made me laugh. Thanks for sharing.
Barb, I think God has a sense of humor, he has to, after all he let Michael in :)
Zona, It was hard staying warm today as I was out & about shopping today bur-r-r-r-r!!!
I miss the dork~ I'm glad he's pain free....but I miss being able to tell him things.....When he read this to me....I laughed half way thru....but I didn't laugh at the end...so he read the end again....much louder.....so on purpose...I didn't laugh....he was exasperated....THEN I laughed...and asked him to send it to me....he wouldn't until I begged him to~ lol~
ReplyDeleteHis sister, Janet, read it today...she was like Barb...she didn't want to laugh, but she couldn't help it...it's so Mike~
Gloria~ glad ur feeling better...pneumonia is tiring~
Barb~ this one is a fine line....I think because Michael sent in the story.....that's the only reason we don't have to go to confession~ :)~
Zona~ I almost spelled out the JRS....but left it cuz it's so him~
J/L~ I'm glad I posted it too~
Mary~ Sorry I missed ur birthday...I'm done working until January 5th....I should be back to normal (whatever that is) soon~
Mary, You are so right, God has a sense of humor. I just have to look in the mirror to know that!
ReplyDeleteTina, Yup, we'll blame it all on Michael and he can explain it directly to God. BTW, I loved the JRS reference, too.
SacBarb Perhaps the occasional chin hair is God's little joke, wondering how long it will take us to notice.
ReplyDeleteMary LOL @ looking for wood to knock on.....Your in a TREE!
ReplyDeleteTina The JRS was absolutely perfect! So Michael!
ReplyDeleteI was out shopping most of the day. I am so wiped out.
ReplyDeleteTINA - Thank you for sharing!! I'm sure MICHAEL is lq in heaven ♥
