"Our life will always end with a hole in one"

Yesterday in his talk,  sweet gentleman shared the following joke he came across in a Reader's Digest years ago.  He prefaced it with this:  "It is a joke, but I take it very seriously."

Jesus, Moses, and an old bearded guy were playing golf. On the first tee, Moses shanked his ball into a lake. He parted the water and hit his ball onto the green.
Jesus teed off, hitting his ball into another water hazard. But he walked on water and stroked his ball just short of the cup.
Then the old man with the beard stepped up for his tee shot. He hit the ball with tremendous force, but hooked it badly. The ball bounced off the clubhouse roof, hit the cart path, and rolled down a hill into a pond, coming to rest on a lily pad. A frog hopped over and picked up the ball, then an eagle swooped down, snatched the frog, and flew over the green. The frog dropped the ball, and it rolled into the cup for a hole in one.
Moses turned to Jesus and said, "I hate playing golf with your dad."
He was in tears as he shared the part of how God got a hole in one.

This gentle man concluded: "I am the frog with the golf ball in its mouth and I am still waiting for the eagle."

  1. How beautiful! And maybe I'm the lily pad holding up the frog so the eagle can see him. We all have a part to play. Love you!
