WHY GOD CREATED CHILDREN...AND GRANDCHILDREN

WHY 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 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.
  (I love this one!  Barbara)

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 FI N ALLY:
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"!!!!!

SOMEONE ELSES GRANDCHILD

I was in Sam's club today.

I went to the rest room behind a grand mother and her grand daughter who looked about 4 years old.

They were in the next stall and I heard the little girl say,

Maw Maw, do you have a biginia

Maw Maw answered yes.

Then the little girl began to sing at the top of her lungs........

Maw Maw has a Biginia, Maw maw  has a Biginia.

The grand mother was trying to get her to stop singing because everyone in the rest room was laughing.

She continued to sing even louder.

I left as did everyone else but I guess Maw Maw stayed in the stall because I never saw her come out of the rest room and she was nowhere to be seen in Sam's club!

WHO TO MARRY...WRITTEN BY CHILDREN

 How to decide who to marry - Written by kids......

 

SCROLL DOWN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY?

 

1. You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you

like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep

the chips and dip coming. -- Alan, age 10

 

2. No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to

marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later

who you're stuck with. -- Kristen, age 10

 

 

 

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

 

1. Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. -- Camille, age 10

 

2. No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get

married. -- Freddie, age 6

 

 

 

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

 

1. You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling

at the same kids. -- Derrick, age 8

 

 

 

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

 

1. Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8

 

 

 

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

 

1. Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know

each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long

enough. --

Lynnette, age 8

 

2. On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that Usually

gets them interested enough to go for a second date. -- Martin, age

10

 

 

 

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

 

1. I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the

newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.

Craig, age 9

 

 

 

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. -- Howard,

age 8

 

 

 

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

 

1. It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need

someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9

 

 

 

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

 

1. There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? --

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Four of my grandchildren came by yesterday with my daughter and son in law.

We all went out to dinner and when we got back home, the children each gave me a hand made card.

Instead of Happy Mother's Day, Caleb's card said...

Happy Bama Day!
