Title: FW: WHY GOD CREATED CHILDREN
WHY GOD
CREATED CHILDREN
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 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
to!"
"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.
6. 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"
