KIDS IN CHURCH
3-year-old Reese:
"Our Father, Who does art in
heaven,
Harold is His name.
Amen."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little boy was overheard
praying:
"Lord, if you can't make me a
better boy, don't worry about
it.
I'm having a real good time like
I am."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the christening of his
baby brother in church,
Jason sobbed all the way home in
the back seat of the car.
His father asked him three times
what was wrong.
Finally, the boy replied,
"That preacher said he wanted us
brought up in a Christian home,
and I wanted to stay with you
guys"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had been teaching my
three-year old daughter,
Caitlin,
the Lord's Prayer for several
evenings at bedtime
She would repeat after me the
lines from the prayer.
Finally, she decided to go solo.
I listened with pride as she
carefully enunciated each word,
right up to the end of the
prayer:
"Lead us not into temptation,"
she prayed,
"but deliver us from E-mail.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One particular four-year-old
prayed,
"And forgive us our trash
baskets
as we forgive those who put
trash in our baskets."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Sunday school teacher asked
her children as they
were on the way to church
service,
"And why is it necessary to be
quiet in church?"
One bright little girl replied,
"Because people are sleeping."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Six-year-old Angie and her
four-year-old
brother, Joel, were sitting
together in church.
Joel giggled, sang, and talked
out loud.
Finally, his big sister had had
enough.
"You're not supposed to talk out
loud in church."
"Why? Who's going to stop me?"
Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the
church and said,
"See those two men standing ng
by the door?
They're hushers."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A mother was preparing pancakes
for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan
3.
The boys began to argue over who
would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the opportunity
for a moral lesson.
"If Jesus were sitting here, He
would say,
'Let my brother have the first
pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger
brother and said,
"Ryan, you be Jesus!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A father was at the beach with
his children
when the four-year-old son ran
up to him,
grabbed his hand, and led him to
the shore
where a seagull lay dead in the
sand.
"Daddy, what happened to him?"
the son asked.
"He died and went to Heaven,"
the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and
then said,
"Did God throw him back down?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A wife invited some people to
dinner.
At the table, she turned to
their six-year-old daughter and
said,
"Would you like to say the
blessing?"
"I wouldn't know what to say,"
the girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy
say," the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and
said,
"Lord, why on earth did I inv
ite al l these people to
dinner?"
