A Whenever your kids are
out of control, you can take
comfort from the thought
that even God's omnipotence
did not extend to God's
kids. 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 got
forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve...we got
forbidden fruit!"
"No way!"
"Yes way!"
"Don't eat that fruit!"
said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father
and I said so!" said God (wondering why
he hadn't stopped after
making the elephants).
A few minutes later God
saw his kids having an apple break and was angry.
"Didn't I tell you not
to eat the fruit?" the First Parent asked
"Uh huh, " Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
"I dunno" Eve answered.
"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.
However, there is reassurance in this story.
If you have persistently
and lovingly tried to give them wisdom
and they have not taken
it, do not be hard on yourself.
If God had trouble handling
children, what makes you think it would be a piece of
cake for you?

Advice for the day:
If you have a lot of tension
and you get a headache,
do what it says on the
aspirin bottle:
Take two and keep away from children. |
