“The Dying Widow”
A very busy corporate lawyer was called out of an important
meeting to the bedside of an extremely wealthy widow who was one of the firm's most
prestigious clients. She was also known for
her devoted Christian faith. He was ushered
into her bedroom, and asked, "What can I do for you, Mrs. Smith?"
"Just come and stand beside my bed," she said. He did so. About
five minutes later, a lawyer from another firm that served the widow's family interests
was brought in. She instructed him to stand on
the other side of her bed. After 15 or 20
minutes of standing virtually motionless, with no further indication of what either man
had been called in to do, the first lawyer said,
"Mrs. Smith, I don't want to neglect you at a time
like this, but I left a very important meeting to come here, and I really should be
getting back. I'm sure Mr. (the other lawyer) has a busy schedule, too. Is there anything you need either of us to do
before we go? We'll be glad to take care of
any concerns you have at this time."
The widow said, "No.
I'm dying, and I don't need any more legal services. What I want you to do
for me now is to stand where you are until I'm gone, because I've always wanted to die
like my Lord did --- between two thieves!"
