| Every Wedding has a Story |
The background music was softly playing as the Minister, my
bridegroom, and the best man stepped out to the front of the church, waiting
for the rest of the wedding party to arrive.
It was evident that the best man was somewhat nervous
because he was busily chomping away on a stick of gum.
My mother caught his eye and made a chewing motion with her
mouth, and understanding her “sign language,” - - he promptly swallowed his
gum.
“Here comes the bride,” began to play and the wedding
proceeded with out any further problems at least for the ceremony.
Many weddings have a story to tell of something that went
wrong on their special day.
Some are horror stories and some are simply downright
humorous!
My sister had decided to play a trick on me, and when we
arrived at our motel, I discovered that she had tightly sewed up my new
nightgown at all the openings.
I could not contain myself and began to laugh loudly at her
joke. I told her later that she was very
funny and of course I was not angry at her harmless prank.
Not so funny was the other stunt someone did to our borrowed
car. We never knew for sure who it was,
but the lug bolts on one of the wheels had been loosened, which caused the
wheel to almost come off.
We spent the better part of the next afternoon at the auto wrecking
yard purchasing a used wheel to replace the damaged one.
Practical jokes are certainly not funny to the receiver of
their brunt! Many times they are
dangerous and can seriously harm a person or a relationship.
We tried to teach our children, to never pay back each other
for wrongs either true or thought to be, and not to hide or destroy the
possessions of others.
1 Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil for evil or insult for
insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose
that you might inherit a blessing.

Oh, my, I am thankful you weren't hurt when the prank was not so humorous. God is faithful to us, in spite of what others do. Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteI remember this one. I love the first parts, but that person that could have killed you still gets under my skin!
ReplyDeleteThe tire trick was not funny. Mean-spirited and dangerous. Which is why I'm not a fan of practical jokes. It seems that they always happen at someone else's expense.
ReplyDeleteNow, the nightgown? OK, that was funny...
GOD BLESS!
