You may have to be pretty familiar with the LDS Church and its culture to get this one, but here goes:
Hope, who was due to deliver her first child in two weeks, always led the music at sacrament meetings (main church service). On this particular Sunday, she was feeling particularly drained, but when it was time to sing the opening hymn, she got to her feet and made her way to the front of the congregation, and began to lead the singing.
As they got into the hymn, she noticed a lot of people beginning to smile and finally laugh out loud. Hope was perplexed until she looked down at the words of the hymn - then it was all clear.
The hymn? A Latter Day Saint favorite called "We Thank Thee O God For a Prophet".
The words that got everybody laughing?
"There is hope smiling brightly before us, and we know that deliverance is neigh." |
