HILARIOUS JOKES AND HUMOR ARCHIVES
An elderly man was very ill, and lay in his bed fully
expecting to die at any time. In death's agony, he suddenly
smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies
wafting up the stairs.
The smell was so overwhelming that he somehow managed to
gather his remaining strength to lift himself from the bed.
Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the
bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down
the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands.
With labored breath, agony, and pain from the excursion, he
leaned against the kitchen door frame for rest and gazed
into the room. Were it not for his physical pain he would
have thought himself already in heaven because there,
spread out upon newspapers on the kitchen table, were
literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from
his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a
happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw
himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled
posture.
His parched lips parted as he began to imagine the taste of
the wondrous cookies already in his mouth. The thought
actually invigorated him, seemingly bringing him back to
life. His old and aged hand slowly made its way to a cookie
at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with
a spatula by his wife.
"Stay out of those," she snapped. "They're for the funeral."
What is heaven like to you?
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more
sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming
down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for
her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain: for the former things are
passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all
things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are
true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto
him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life
freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be
his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire
and brimstone: which is the second death. -Revelation 21:1
