Mother Teresa and God

Mother Teresa died and went to heaven. God greeted her at the Pearly
Gates. "Be thou hungry, Mother Teresa?" asked God.

"I could eat," Mother Teresa replied.

So God opened a can of tuna and reached for a chunk of rye bread and
they began to share it. While eating this humble meal, Mother Teresa
looked down into Hell and saw the inhabitants devouring huge steaks,
lobsters, pheasants, and pastries. Curious, but deeply trusting, she
remained quiet.

The next day God again invited her to join him for a meal. Again, it
was tuna and rye bread. Once again, Mother Teresa could see the
denizens of Hell enjoying lamb, turkey, venison, and delicious
desserts. Still she said nothing.

The following day, mealtime arrived and another can of tuna was
opened. She couldn't contain herself any longer. Meekly, she asked,
"God, I am grateful to be in heaven with you as a reward for the
pious, obedient life I led. But here in heaven all I get to eat is
tuna and a piece of rye bread and in the Other Place they eat like
emperors and kings! I just don't understand it..."

God sighed. "Let's be honest Teresa,"

He said, ". . . for just two people, it doesn't pay to cook."
