PARABLE OF THE SINGLE MEN

CHRISTIAN SINGLES POTLUCK
Carrying a plate full of food, three men sit together at a table noticing all the single women seated at the other tables.
ITALIAN
Guys, we're here to meet women, this is not a men's meeting. Guys, don't be shy.
ASIAN
Before we move to other tables, I want to know your opinion. What type of woman are you looking for? Are you searching for a wife?
SCOTCHMAN
I agree, if we don't know what we are looking for, how can we find our soulmate. We need a strategy before we make our next move.
The Scotchman and Asian stare at the Italian man, wanting him to speak first.
ITALIAN
Italian men want a beautiful wife who knows how to cook pasta. She must be romantic, a hugger, kiss a lot, and is affectionate.
ASIAN
She must be my best friend, hiking, camping, fishing, swimming, kayaking, traveling the world together, know how to cook Asian food and make hot tea.
SCOTCHMAN
That's wonderful. All those things are important; but I am looking for excellence in a wife. Before we move to other tables, let me read Proverbs 31.
"How hard it is to find the perfect wife.
She is worth far more than jewels.
Her husband depends on her.
He will never be poor.
She does good for her husband all her life.
She never causes him trouble.
She is always gathering wool and flax
He will never be poor.
She does good for her husband all her life.
She never causes him trouble.
She is always gathering wool and flax
and enjoys making things with her hands.
She is like a ship from a faraway place.
She is like a ship from a faraway place.
She brings home food from everywhere.
She wakes up early in the morning,
cooks food for her family, and gives the servants their share.
She looks at land and buys it.
She uses the money she has earned and plants a vineyard.
She works very hard.
She is strong and able to do all her work.
She works late into the night
to make sure her business earns a profit.
She makes her own thread
and weaves her own cloth.
She always gives to the poor
and helps those who need it.
She does not worry about her family when it snows.

Grace and beauty can fool you,
but a woman who respects the Lord should be praised.
Give her the reward she deserves.
Praise her in public for what she has done."

ASIAN
You got a big list. Will you ever be ever be able to find her?
ITALIAN
I'm not going to be picky and choose the first romantic woman who wants me.
SCOTCHMAN
The Bible has three types of love. Eros is the romantic physical love. Phileo is friendship love. And Agape is Christ-like love, the love I look first in finding my wife. Let's go and meet some women. Seek and ye shall find!
