While cutting a branch from a tree, she dropped her axe into the water, and it sank to the bottom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Desperate, she began to pray and plead:<br \/>\n\u2013 Lord, help me, please, Lord!<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God appeared and asked her:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 What\u2019s wrong, woman? What happened? Why are you crying so bitterly?<br \/>\n\u2013 Lord, please help me. My axe fell into the river, and I have nothing to cut wood with \u2014 I\u2019ll freeze to death.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God put His hand into the river and pulled out a\u00a0<strong>golden axe<\/strong>.<br \/>\n\u2013 Is this your axe? He asked.<br \/>\nThe noble woman replied:<br \/>\n\u2013 No, Lord, that\u2019s not mine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God reached in again and pulled out a\u00a0<strong>silver axe<\/strong>.<br \/>\n\u2013 Is this your axe, woman?<br \/>\n\u2013 No, Lord, not that one either.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God reached in a third time and pulled out an axe made of\u00a0<strong>iron and wood<\/strong>.<br \/>\n\u2013 And this one \u2014 is it yours? He asked once more.<br \/>\n\u2013 Yesss, Lord, yes!!! That one is mine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God was so pleased with the woman\u2019s honesty that He gave her\u00a0<strong>all three axes<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 the golden one, the silver one, and her original axe.<br \/>\nOverjoyed, the woman ran home to tell her beloved husband about the miracle. She then took him to the spot where she had seen God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in a moment of carelessness, the man tripped and fell into the river. Not knowing how to swim, he drowned.<br \/>\nThe woman began to cry again and plead for help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God appeared once more.<br \/>\n\u2013 What now? What happened? Why are you crying again?<br \/>\nThrough her sobs, the woman replied:<br \/>\n\u2013 Lord, my husband fell into the river and drowned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately, God went into the river and pulled out\u00a0<strong>Brad Pitt<\/strong>.<br \/>\n\u2013 Is this your husband? He asked.<br \/>\n\u2013 Yes, yes, yes! said the woman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God became angry:<br \/>\n\u2013 You are a lying woman! He exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quickly, the woman explained:<br \/>\n\u2013 Lord, forgive me, but it\u2019s a misunderstanding\u2026 If I had said NO, you would\u2019ve brought me\u00a0<strong>George Clooney<\/strong>, and if I said he wasn\u2019t my husband either, then finally you\u2019d bring my real husband.<br \/>\nAnd when I said, \u201cYES, this is my husband,\u201d You would\u2019ve sent me home with\u00a0<strong>all three of them<\/strong>.<br \/>\nBut Lord, I am a humble woman, with moral principles, and I could not commit\u00a0<strong>POLYGAMY<\/strong>!<br \/>\nThat\u2019s why I said YES to the first one You showed me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God saw the wisdom in her reasoning and forgave her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MORAL:<\/strong><br \/>\nWomen have such good arguments that even\u00a0<strong>God believes them<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s how they are \u2014\u00a0<strong>they never lose!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>They are UNIQUE!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman was gathering firewood along the edge of a river.
