A young woman brought her fiancé home to meet her
parents. After dinner, her mother told her father to find
out about the young man.
The father invited the fiancé to his study for a talk.
"So what are your plans?" the father asked the young
man.
"I am a biblical scholar," he replied.
"A Biblical scholar. Hmmm," the father said. "Admirable,
but what will you do to provide a nice house for my
daughter to live in?"
"I will study," the young man replied, "and God will
provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring,
such as she deserves?" asked the father.
"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replied,
"God will provide for us."
"And children?" asked the father. "How will you support
children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replied the fiancé.
The conversation proceeded like this, and each time the
father questioned, the young idealist insisted that God
would provide.
Later, the mother asked, "How did it go, Honey?"
The father answered, "He has no job and no plans, and
he thinks I'm God!"

Have a Blessed Day
