Provide for the Family

A young girl brings home her fiance to meet her parents. After dinner,
while the women are cleaning the table, the father invites the fiance into
the living room. "So, what are your plans?" the father asks. "I'm a bible
scholar," he replies. "A bible scholar," the father says, "admirable...but
what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as
she is accustomed to?" "I will study," the young man replies, "and God
will provide for us." "And children?" asks the father, "How will you
support children?" "I will concentrate on my studies," the young man
replies, "God will provide for us." The conversation proceeds like this,
and each time the father questions, the fiance insists that God will
provide.


Later that evening, the mother is alone with the father and asks him "So,
how did it go?" The father says, "He has no job and no plans. But, the
good news is, he thinks I am God!"
