The Widowed Lady

This story is about an elderly widowed lady who lived alone in a secluded wooded area on the outskirts of town. She was known for her faith. She occasionally would go to town to purchase items to restock her pantry. She was was saying her daily morning prayer and did not notice that she was being watched by the 3 little boys who were known for their michievous pranks. She continued "Dear God please help me, I am too sick to get out today and I am very hungry.." The boys exchanged glances and then hurried off to carry out their evil plot. The next day they returned and then placed the needed groceries on the old woman's porch. They knocked and then quickly to watch as the old lady opened the door to find the needed supply of food. She bent down and gathered the groceries before going back into her house.

A couple of days later, they returned to visit her. They knocked and she invited them in. They proceeded to tell her how they had heard her praying. They came to see if her God had answered her prayer. She replied "Yes, He did" They then informed her that it had not been her God that had brought the food, but that it had really been them instead. She listened to every word that came out of their mouth. When they were finished, she relied with a soft but firm voice "It may have bee the devil who had brought the food, but it was still my God who had sent it" The boys left shaking their heads. This was not the end results that they had waited on.
