PECANS IN THE CEMETERY
>
>
> On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old
> pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys
> filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out
> of sight, and began  dividing the nuts.
>
> 'One for yo u, one for me One for you, one for me,'
> said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the
> fence.
>
> Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As
> he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the
> cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he
> heard, 'One for you, one for me. One for you, one for
> me.'
>
> He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and
> rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a
> cane, hobbling along.
>
> 'Come here quick,' said the boy, 'you won't
> believe what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the
> cemetery dividing up the souls.'
>
> The man said, 'Beat it kid, can't you see it's
> hard for me to walk.' When the boy insisted though, the
> man hobbled slowly to the cemetery.
>
> Standing by the fence they heard , 'One for you, one
> for me. One for you, one for me.'
>
> The old man whispered, 'Boy, you've been
> tellin' me  the truth. Let's see if we can see the
> Lord.'
>
> Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were
> still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy
> gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and
> tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the Lord.
>
> At last they heard, 'One for you, one for me.
> That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence
> and we'll be done.'
>
> They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes
> ahead of the kid on the bike.

> SMILE, God Loves you
