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.

Imagine the scene........

God has just created Heaven and earth........oh yes, and Adam and eve.

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

A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was pretty hacked off !

' Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit ?' God, our first parent asked ?

' yeah......but ' Adam replied

' Then why did you ?' asked 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 shopuld have children of their own.

Thus, the pattern was set and it has never changed !...... but there is reassurance in this story.
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give your children wisdom and they haven't taken it to heart.......don't be too hard on yourself.

1 If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake ?

2 Advice of the day: if you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle......'Take 2 Aspirin' and 'Keep away from Children'.

3 You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk......then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and shut up.

4 Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your children.

5 Mothers of teenagers know why some animals eat their young.

6 Children seldom misquote you.....they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said in the first place.

7 The main purpose behind a childrens party is to remind yourself that there are children worse than yours.

8 We child proofed our home 3 years ago.......and they're STILL getting IN !

9 Be nice to your kids......they'll be the ones choosing your nursing home.
