WIFE SWAPPING

This idea gets the Frugal Housekeeping Seal of Approval:

Two longtime friends went to a furniture store together, both complaining that they were sick and tired of their kitchen table and chair sets. Neither one of them had anything more than minor scuffs and dings on them. There was nothing really WRONG with them. The women just wanted a change.

Well, neither one had shopped for casual dining furniture for many years, and when they saw the pricetags . . . whoa.

So they cooked up one of the nicest solutions I’ve heard: they swapped.

Both are happy. Oh, that the State Departments of the nations would adopt that model of compromise and cooperation. That’s a kind of wife-swapping that we all can live with.

Prayer request: A young Navy man named Nick needs a break today from his commanding officer to get a couple of days off to take a special test for his future private-sector dream job. The powers that be aren’t very open to the idea so far. Oh, Lord, You command us in Your Word to be giving and gracious to one another. Soften the heart of his superior officer in the meeting today so he’ll change his mind and let Nick have this chance. (Matthew 5:42)
