Why God Created Children
To those of 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 annoyed! "Didn't I tell
you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh" Adam replied.
"Then why did you?" said God.
"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.
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they
haven't taken it, don't be too 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. Mother 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 child proofed our homes, but they are still getting in.
Advice for the day
Be nice to your kids, they choose your nursing home,
AND FINALLY
IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE, DO WHAT T SAYS ON THE
ASPIRIN BOTTLE "TAKE TWO TABLETS AND KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN".
Number 1 and number 4 are particularly applicable in our house at the moment!
