For Parents
The Reason For Children
Those of you that have children will agree with a lot
of what is below. Those of you who have nieces and
nephews can sympathize with the parents.
The Reason For Children
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 ticked!
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?" said the Father.
"I don't know," said Eve.
"She 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.
BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!
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.
We child proofed our homes, but they are still
getting in.
ADVICE FOR THE DAY!
Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing
home. 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"
