A man worked his whole life for the sake of money. He told his wife that his dying wish was one thing: to be buried with his fortune.

The wife was a loyal, unselfish woman who valued money far less than her hubby, and when it came time to bury him she wanted to honor his wishes.

Stopping the procession as they lowered the casket into the ground, the wife bent over and placed a box next to her man. When a friend looked at her bewildered, asking her whether buried the money her husband should have left her, she said yes. She put the money into her bank account, wrote him a check, and hopes his butt doesn’t cash it.

LITTLE PEOPLE FUNNIES!

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his
stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest.

After a moment or two, the vet
shook his head and sadly said, “I’m sorry, your duck, Cuddles,has passed away.”

The distressed woman wailed,
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead,” replied the vet..

“How can you be so sure?” she
protested. “I mean you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something.”

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and
shook his head.

The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”

The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..

The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “$150!” she cried, “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!”

The vet shrugged, “I’m sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and theCat Scan, it’s now $150.”

HILARIOUS KIDS FALLING ASLEEP IN STRANGE PLACES

You know the feeling…Your eyelids get heavy, the yawns come fast and furious, and the one place you want to be is your bed.

As an adult, you usually have to wait until the end of the day to satisfy that slumbering fantasy. But as a kid, napping isn’t only encouraged — it’s actually a built-in part of your day.

And despite how much kids might protest that they are not tired and they are not going to take a nap, sometimes they lose the battle against sleep no matter where they are when it hits.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? OLD FOLKS HAVING FUN – THESE MADE ME SMILE!

Who Says that you can’t have fun when you’ve aged? These elderly couples are proof that just because your appearance has changed doesn’t mean that your soul has lost it’s youth as well. You can still be a free spirit. These duo’s are still enjoying life and acting foolishly.

Taking a casual stroll around town.

It’s not a real shark but you would think it is by the look of horror on her face!

This couple has a sense of humor. They were asked to act like they’ve been married for 60 years. This was their reaction.

Grandpa was trying to be sneaky…

Taking a selfie.

She kept getting on and off the scale for about 7 minutes, never noticing what her husband was doing behind her.

You’re never too old for a good embrace.

The grandkids can do it, so why not.

This is hilarious.

Staying foolish together.

Date night.

A BOY AND HIS DOGS

DIRECTIONS ON WHERE TO PARK MY MIND by Lysa TerKeust

Have you ever had a big situation in your life where you just couldn’t process why God would allow this to happen? Or maybe even a small annoyance like losing your keys or having a flat tire on a morning you really needed to be somewhere.

It’s so tempting to wallow in the “why.”Asking why is perfectly normal. Asking why isn’t unspiritual. However, if asking this question pushes us farther from God rather than drawing us closer to Him, it is the wrong question.If asking the why question doesn’t offer hope, what will?The what question.In other words: “Now that this is my reality, what am I supposed to do with it?”

Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things” (NIV).

I like to call this verse, “Directions on Where to Park My Mind.”

This is my reality, now what am I going to do with it?
What can I learn from this?
What part of this is for my protection?
What other opportunities could God be providing?
What maturity could God be building into me?
Switching from the why to the what questions paves the road to parking our minds in a much better place.

Is it always easy? No.

But is it a way to find a perspective beyond situations where we feel God has allowed something in our lives we don’t understand and we absolutely don’t like?

Yes it is, and I pray this helps you today.
POTATOES, EGGS AND COFFEE BEANS

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He took the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.

Turning to her, he asked. “What do you see?” “Potatoes, eggs and coffee,” she hastily replied.

“Look closer”, he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft.

He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.

Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.

He explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity – the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.

The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

“Which one are you?” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?”

The moral of the story:

In life, things happen around us, and things happen to us. The only thing that truly matters is your choice of how you react to it and what you make of it. Learn, adapt and choose to make the best of each experience.

BOWL OF MOUNTAINS

RAILWAY BRIDGE, JAPAN

On an early summer morning, Teruo Araya captured this image of a train on Japan Rail’s Tadami line as it passed through Fukushima Prefecture. “The haze generated by the river created a fantasy world,” as the train crossed the railway bridge, Araya says. For the Your Shot contributor, the sight expressed the recovery of the people of Fukushima, defying the earthquake and nuclear accident of March 2011. “But it is like an endless journey.”

There’s a place in Baja, on the Sea of Cortez side, about 100 miles south of San Felipe called Gonzaga Bay. You can drive there pretty easily (by Baja standards) nowadays. But, 30 years ago, it was quite an adventure to get there. Your reward for all that off road adventure (other than the journey itself)? An off-the-grid community of small “houses” on a beautiful bay with whatever supplies you were able to bring with you.

Beyond the stark beauty of the bay, the warm water, fresh ocean breezes, and perfect cocktail conditions, the thing I remember most was the darkness. The stars were so close you could almost touch them. On a moonless night, you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

But, light one candle and the scene changed. The light from that one candle would penetrate the darkness. The terrain glowed in the light. Bushes and rocks cast shadows in the night. The darkness was no match for the light from just one candle.

Darkness is all around us. That darkness may even come from within. We can choose to let the darkness consume us and everything we do.

Or, we can be the candle.

GOING ELECTRIC

Dams are rising all along the Mekong River to bring the people of Southeast Asia clean electricity. In Thailand the hunger for electricity is driving dam construction on the lower Mekong in Laos and Cambodia.

One day after a high tide, many starfish were brought to the shore. They started drying up in the sun. A boy, walking down the shore, started placing the starfish back into the sea one by one.

A stranger who saw what he was doing walked up to him and asked:

“Why are you doing this? Look around! There are millions of starfish; the shore is covered with them. Your attempts won’t change anything!”

The boy picked up another starfish, thought for a moment, placed it into the sea and said:

“No, my attempt will change a lot… for this starfish.”

A Short Story About Hope, Humanity and a Baby Deer
by Jennifer Dukes Lee

Do you need a reason to have a little hope in humanity right now? Then, this one’s for you.

It’s a story about this baby deer — minutes old in the photograph.

Our family had just sat down at a restaurant in northern Minnesota, when a young couple showed up with that sweet spotted fawn in their arms.

The couple had been driving along a highway, when a car in front of them hit a large deer. The couple felt moved to do something. So they stopped at the side of the road.

When they stopped, they found a mama deer, dying.

But that’s not all they found.

Inside the mama? Two fawns, just beginning to emerge. The mama deer was about to give birth, and who knows where she was headed when she was struck by that car.

But labor set in, and this couple was there to help. One fawn died. But this baby deer lived.

They wrapped the fawn in a coat, and brought her to a restaurant.

That’s where we met her.

When we were met her, she was minutes old, just learning to walk. She was hungry, scared, wobbly. And she was a bundle of adorableness.

The young couple was looking for a way to keep the fawn warm and alive. Right then, people did what people do best. They helped. They stopped everything and helped. A whole bunch of people began calling veterinarians and doctors and farmers and animal lovers — all of them trying to figure out how to keep one little heart beating.

So we know this for sure — There’s a lot of crap in the world right now. There’s a lot of evil. Humans are making horrible decisions every millisecond that hurt someone else. But for every awful thing unfolding right now, there’s good. There’s hope. There’s someone stopping at the side of the road. There are people doing what people are supposed to do.

There is always love, always hope, always faith. Always. And the Bible says virtues like that always persevere. Don’t give up on the world. There’s good all ’round.

I knew it for sure last night.

TWIN BUNNIES AND KITTIES! CALEB AND MAGGIE

A photo of a young Marine praying with his bride-to-be quickly went viral after it was posted on Facebook by the wedding photographer.

U.S. Marine Cpl. Caleb Earwood wanted to pray with his bride Maggie before their ceremony in Asheville, North Carolina, on Saturday. So with the help of their family and wedding photographer Dwayne Schmidt, Caleb was guided to the cabin where Maggie was getting ready for the service, where the couple joined hands around a corner so as not to break tradition and see each other before the altar.

This is what happens when your child is exposed to too many commercials on TV.

A Baptist pastor was presenting a children’s sermon. During the sermon, he asked the children if they knew what the resurrection was. Now, asking questions during children’s sermons is crucial, but at the same time, asking children questions in front of a congregation can also be very dangerous. Having asked the children if they knew the meaning of the resurrection, a little boy raised his hand……..

The pastor called on him and the little boy said, “I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts more than four hours you are supposed to call the doctor.” It took over ten minutes for the congregation to settle down enough for the service to continue.

Yellow Jellies

The residents of Jellyfish Lake on Eil Malk—one of the Rock Islands of Palau—surround a snorkeler in their midst. The saltwater lake’s golden jellyfish, harmless to humans, spend much of their lives following the sun as it makes its daily progress across the sky. For these jellies, sunlight is essential: It nourishes the algae-like organisms that live symbiotically in their tissues. Photograph by Ciemon Frank Caballes, National Geographic Your Shot

World’s Longest and Highest Glass Bottom Bridge to Be Unveiled in Chinese National Park

In July of this year, China’s scenic Zhangjiajie National Park will be opening the very first bridge of its kind. The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Skywalk is set to be the world’s longest and highest glass-bottomed bridge, coming in at 1,410 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 984 feet above ground. The glass structure is being designed by Israeli-based architect Haim Dotan and many hope that it will become a Wonder of the World, especially since it represents unique architecture that tests the limits of human creativity.

Once the skywalk is unveiled, it will be able to hold up to 800 people at once. It will also feature the world’s highest bungee jump, stealing the title from Macau Tower’s incredible 764-foot high attraction. In addition to these world records, the bridge will certainly add a futuristic element to the national park, which is said to have been the inspiration behind the planet of Pandora in James Cameron’s movie Avatar.

Daily Funny from Blue Ridge Mountain Ministries

A preacher stood at the pulpit one Sunday morning and ask everyone who wanted to go to Heaven to raise their hand!!! As he looked around at the congregation, he noticed that everyone’s hand was up, except for one little boy in the front row!!! After the service, the preacher asked the little boy why he didn’t raise his hand!!! He said, “Son don’t you want to go to heaven”??? The little boy said “Oh yes I do preacher”!!! I just thought you were getting up a load to go today, I want to stay here a little longer”!!!

I want to stay here a little longer myself!!! There is so much that I need to do for GOD, before I go!!!

7 SKILLS YOUR GRANDPARENTS HAD THAT YOU DON’T

The older generation may watch in wonder when pre-teens download apps, install wireless printers, and edit videos on iMovie with a few clicks of the mouse. But there are loads of skills our parents and grandparents had decades ago that the younger generations don’t. We asked our Facebook fans about this, and received a massive response.

“My grandmother was a pro at sitting and sipping a cup of coffee and looking out the window at the garden without any distractions or boredom. A skill I could really use,” said Sharon Hodor Greenthal. “Great at money management. She saved up $300 for a down payment on a two-family house during the Depression. Then started a successful business with my mom,” said Cheryl De Primio. “Nannie could clean her entire house and look lovely by 9 a.m.,” said Denice Loritsch.

What women! So what other skills did they have? Here are seven your grandparents probably mastered that you haven’t.

Cooking from scratch
Most likely your grandmother could whip up almost anything without benefit of a recipe card. They just knew when to add a pinch of this and a pinch of that to make a dish taste absolutely perfect. “My grandmother could empty the fridge of leftovers and it would taste great! There’s nothing she could not cook well!” said Alicia Floyd-Grimes.

Sewing (and crocheting and quilting and darning)
These days, if someone gets a hole in their socks or jeans, they generally buy a new pair. Your grandparents, on the other hand, darned old socks and everything else. Sure, a few folks still sew. But due to budget cuts and weak demand, many school systems have dropped sewing classes from the curriculum, meaning fewer young people have the opportunity to learn. Yet many of our readers cited sewing as a lost art they’d like to see revitalized.

Canning
Although rising food prices and the popularity of gardening have led more people to take up canning, it’s still not a skill most younger people have honed. But you can bet your grandparents sure did. For those of you who are interested, there apparently are two types of safe canning processes: boiling water canning and pressure canning. Find out more by going here.

Ironing (really well)
Although many of your grandmothers probably ironed just about everything — underwear, pillowcases, handkerchiefs — you’d be hard-pressed to find a 20-something who did so. In a world of polyester clothing, in which dryers boast wrinkle-free settings and stores sell de-wrinkle sprayers, ironing has become nothing but a, er, wrinkle in time.

Meeting people without benefit of the Internet
Your grandparents weren’t able to ask someone out via text message or to invite folks to a party via Evite. They had to actually talk to people. They got to know others over a backyard fence or at church or by joining a social club. In a digital age, people tend to talk at each other instead of with each other. In order to encourage real exchanges, many psychologists recommend banning phones and computers from “sacred spaces” such as the dinner table.

Haggling
Sure, a few of you have haggled over prices in a car lot. But we bet your grandparents were even better at the art of negotiation. You wouldn’t argue with the manager at McDonald’s over the price of a Happy Meal. But in the days of ubiquitous mom-and-pop stores and tradespeople, folks did a lot of bargaining.

Writing beautiful letters
Yes, many of us still write letters — on paper. But we probably write them a lot less often than we used to. Your grandparents, on the other hand, didn’t have the luxury of email and so were forced to physically write down their thoughts and feelings — maybe even with a fountain pen — every time they wanted to communicate with someone far from home.

What do you think? Which of these skills would you like to learn

In the Hole

Photograph by Christoph Jorda, National Geographic Your Shot

To get this shot, taken in Austria, Your Shot member Christoph Jorda set up two Profoto B1 flash systems: one on top of the ice cave and one inside. “We had to dig out the entrance of the cave because it was almost totally closed by the snow you see in the foreground,” Jorda writes. The problem? According to Jorda, the ice cave was at an altitude of nearly 9,800 feet, the temperature was at minus 4ºF, and the flash didn’t work properly. “So he [had] to jump a couple of times to get it right,” he says.

THE WHITE TREE TOWER IN MONTPELIER, FRANCE SHAVED ALPACAS ARE BOTH HILARIOUS AND TERRIFYING

A woman awakes in the middle of the night to find her husband not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of hot cocoa in front of him. He appears to be deep in thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes away a tear from his eye.

“What’s the matter dear?” she whispers as she steps into the room. “Why are you down here at this time of night!?”

The husband looks up from his drink, “It’s the 20th anniversary of the day we met.”

She can’t believe he has remembered. She starts to tear up.

The husband continues solemnly, “Do you remember 20 years ago when we started dating? I was 18 and you were only 15.”

Once again, the wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring and sensitive.

“Yes, I do,” she replies.

The husband pauses… the words were not coming easily.

“Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?”

“Yes, I remember,” said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continued.

“Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, ‘Either you marry my daughter or I will make sure you spend the next 20 years in prison?'”

“I remember that too,” she replied softly…

He sighed as he wiped another tear away from his cheek and said, “I would have gotten out today.”

BLUE GHOST FIREFLIES, NORTH CAROLINA A forest floor in North Carolina is traced with the movement of blue ghost fireflies in this time-lapse image by Your Shot contributor Spencer Black, who says the element of surprise compels him toward long-exposure photography.

My Aunt died this past January. CitiBank billed her for February and March for their monthly service charge on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge…(the balance had been $0.00… now was somewhere around $60.00) I placed the following phone call to CitiBank: Me: “I am calling to tell you that she died in January.” CitiBank: “The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.” Me: “Maybe, you should turn it over to collections…” CitiBank: “Since it is 2 months past due, it already has been.” Me: “So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?” CitiBank: “Either report her account to the frauds division, or report her to the credit bureau…maybe both!” Me: “Do you think God will be mad at her?” CitiBank: “…excuse me …..?” Me: “Did you just get what I was telling you…. the part about her being dead?” CitiBank: “Sir, you’ll have to speak to my supervisor!” (Supervisor gets on the phone) Me: ”I’m calling to tell you, she died in January.” CitiBank: “The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.” Me: “You mean you want to collect from her estate?” CitiBank: “…..(stammer)” …. “Are you her lawyer?” Me: “No, I’m her great nephew.” (Lawyer info given… ) CitiBank: “Could you fax us a certificate of death?” Me: “Sure.” ( Fax number is given ) ( After they get the fax. ) CitiBank: “Our system just isn’t setup for death…” Me: “Oh…” CitiBank: “I don’t know what more I can do to help…” Me: “Well… if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her…I suppose…don’t really think she will care….” CitiBank: “Well…the late fees and charges do still apply.” Me: “‘Would you like her new billing address?” CitiBank: “That might help.” Me: ” (Odessa Memorial Cemetery #### Hwy 129 and plot number given.)

FAN GIRLS

Photograph by Kate Parker, National Geographic Photo of the Day “We all know that sound it makes when you yell into a fan,” writes Kate Parker, who shared this picture with our Your Shot community. Parker had volunteered to take a friend’s children outside after an early dinner out. “This was shot in July in Georgia,” she writes. “Lots of restaurants have these huge fans outside in case anyone is looking to sweat while they eat. [As] soon as the girls saw the fan, they were drawn right to it.” Parker recalled doing this herself as a child. “It is universal. I knew I wanted to capture that moment … yelling freely, with the wind blowing their hair, and just being kids.”
