Children of God?
A humorous look at children
Kids are home from school a lot over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I spoke with my children this past week and could tell they were dealing with siblings fighting and could only laugh to myself as I remembered how they fought with each other when they were little.
It was more than 25 years ago when I was a young parent dealing with children who fought with their siblings every minute of the day.
We heard the constant “stop touching me,” and “you started it — did not,” conversations repeatedly. Seems I was always telling them to separate or sending someone to their room.
I don’t know if I am the one who wrote the following story or if I saw it somewhere, but if it isn’t originally mine, I’m sure by now it is free domain so I would like to share it with those of you who are currently dealing with children’s attitudes. I found a piece of paper in my old, falling apart Bible, it was dated 12/08/99, and on it I had handwritten the following…
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!”
