A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were

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 some

E-mail, Amen."

particular four-year-old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets

as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One

bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

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 by the door? they're

hushers."

------------------------------------------------------------------------A

mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, 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 invite all these people to dinner?"
