SERMON ILLUSTRATIONS ON AGING, COSMETIC SURGERY, VANITY
Struggling in the face of a mid-life crisis, a somewhat foolish couple was walking down the street one day when they heard a voice from above: “You will live to be 100.”
They looked around and didn’t see anyone. Again, they heard the voice: “You will live to be 100.”
Oh boy, the husband thought, that must be the voice of God! “Whoopie!” the wife exclaimed to her husband, “we’ve got 40 more years to live, and we need to look the part!”
So off they went to the plastic surgeon for their various procedures: a facelift, hair restoration, chin implants — the works!
Weeks later, on the way to a follow-up visit to the plastic surgeon’s office, the couple was hit by a bus, died, and went up to heaven.
Upon arrival, the woman protested to God, “You told us we would live to be 100. We’re supposed to have 40 more years. So why would you let a bus kill us?”
Whereupon God replied: “Because I didn’t recognize either of you!”
