Life Insurance Humor

 

Forty years ago, my wife and I had a good laugh.  Well, sort of.  We were low on money (happens quite often) and were considering cashing in a small life insurance policy that I had had from my college days (thanks, Brother Briggs King for selling it to me).  As we looked at the “fine print” on the policy, it had several ways to pay out.  If you lost a leg OR an arm, you received ½ the cash value of the policy.  If you lost BOTH an arm AND a leg, you received the full value of the policy.  If you lost BOTH eyes or the use of BOTH ears, you received the full value.  And so on and so forth …  Kathy and I were calculating the least inconvenient scenario in order to collect the most money.  Not that we would ever DO any of those things to collect on the policy.  After all, it was ME that we were talking about!  Hey, often we forget the benefits of belonging to God.  And God pays out much better than any life insurance company.  David said in Psalm 103:2, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”  Don’t forget the benefits of God today.  And you don’t have to lose an arm or a leg to get those benefits!
