There was a poor old lady in the Church who would always sit in the last bench. Whenever the Pastor preached a good point she would shout, “Praise the Lord!” The Pastor would forget the sermon and the whole congregation would be disturbed. The Pastor and Elders found no way to stop her from shouting, “Praise the Lord.”
Finally they arrived upon a solution. They visited her house and asked her what she needed. She said she needed nothing. When they kept on pressing her she said, “My shoes are worn out and both have holes at the bottom. I will be happy to have a new pair.” So they bought her a nice new pair of shoes. They presented her the shoes and said, “We have only one request. Please do not shout, ‘Praise the Lord,’ in the Church.” She reluctantly agreed. The next week the Pastor started to preach hoping there would be no interruption. He was preaching very good points. The lady was trying to control herself. Finally when he gave an excellent point she could control herself no longer. She got up from her seat lifting up the shoes in both hands and shouted, “Shoes or no shoes, praise the Lord!”
Whatever may be the situation in your life keep praising God.
