GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)
To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our
own,
grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is something to make
you
chuckle..
Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from
the
thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own
children..
After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing he said was 'DON'T!'
'Don't what ? 'Adam replied..
'Don't eat the forbidden fruit.' God said. 'Forbidden fruit?
We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit!'
'No Way!' 'Yes way!'
'Do NOT eat the fruit !' said God.
'Why ?'
'Because I am your Father and I said so!' God replied, wondering
why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.
A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and
He was not pleased! 'Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?'
God asked.
'Uh huh,' Adam replied.
'Then why did you?' said the Father.
'Eve started it!' Adam said.
'Did not ! '
'Did too ! '
'DID NOT ! '
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that
Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the
pattern was set and it has never changed.
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom
and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself.
If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would
be a piece of cake for you ?
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT !
1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk
and talk.. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and
shut up.
2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.
3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.
4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for-
word what you shouldn't have said
5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself
that there are children more awful than your own
6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.
ADVICE FOR THE DAY:
Be nice to your kids.
They will choose your nursing home one day
AND FINALLY:
IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE,
DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE: 'TAKE TWO ASPIRIN'
AND 'KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN'!!!!!
Quick, pass this on within the next five minutes.
Nothing will happen if you don't, but if you do,
people will be laughing!
