Pastor Reveals The Meaning Of Life To His Congregation And It's Absolutely Priceless

In the beginning there was the word. But it was a lonely and very boring existence. Soon, God got tired of talking to himself and decided to create a world full of creatures to keep him company and keep him entertained.

Creation of this world took a week. He started with something that seemed easy. On day one, God created the dog. He offered the dog a twenty year lifespan and explained that it would involve hanging on the front porch and barking at everyone. The dog was not interested. He asked to shorten it to ten.

In his graciousness, God agreed to shorten it to ten.

On day two, God tried to up his game. He created the monkey. He offered the monkey a twenty year lifespan and told him to be funny, make others laugh and do tricks. The monkey was also not interested. He, too, wanted a shorter sentence and asked to give God back ten of those years.

In his graciousness, God agreed to this deal.

On day three, God got ambitious. He created the cow, with big plans for this new creature. God offered the cow a life span of sixty years so the cow could serve mankind by slaving away in the hot sun all day, providing milk and so forth. (Yes, to serve mankind. God was already thinking ahead to his next creation.) The cow was nonplussed and said "I'll pass, thanks. I'll take twenty years. You can have the other forty back."

In his graciousness, God agreed to this deal.

On day four, God created mankind and again offered a lifespan of twenty years. To mankind, God offered a life that could be summed up as "Eat, drink and be merry." This was a much more appealing deal than God's other creature had been offered. Unsurprisingly, man wanted more years, not fewer. So, like the other creatures, man made a counteroffer. Unlike, the other creatures, he asked for a longer life, not a shorter.

In addition to twenty years of eat, drink and be merry, God gave man the 40 years of hard labor the cow gave back to him, the ten years of monkey tricks the monkey gave back to him and the 10 years of sitting on the front porch and barking at everyone who passes that the dog gave back to him.

Things make so much more sense now, don't they? Was this good for a chuckle? Do you know someone else who could use a good laugh? Forward this to them now!
