Christian Reflection and Prayer

It's a sad state of affairs.....isn't it!

GREED

The Funeral Stone

Sam died. His will provided $30,000
for an elaborate funeral. As the last
guests departed the affair, his wife
Sarah turned to her oldest and dearest
friend Jody and said, "Well, I'm sure
Sam would be pleased".

"I'm sure you're right," replied Jody,
who lowered her voice and leaned in
close. "How much did this really cost?"

"All of it," said Sarah . "Thirty thousand."

"No!" Jody exclaimed. "I mean, it was
very nice, but $30,000?"

Sarah answered, "The funeral was
$6,500. I donated $500 to the church.
The whiskey, wine and snacks were
another $500. The rest went for the
Memorial Stone."

Jody computed quickly. "$22,500 for a
Memorial Stone? My word, how big is it ?"

"Two and a half carats."
