WHY GOD CREATED CHILDREN...AND GRANDCHILDREN
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!

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!
