CHILDRENS CHILDREN ARE THE CROWN OF OLD MEN, AND THE GLORY OF CHILDREN IS THEIR FATHER. ( PROVERBS 17:6 NKJV ) Received from a friend! To those of us who have children in our lives, 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 Gods 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 DONT! Dont what? Adam replied. Dont 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 hadnt stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked! Didnt I tell you not to eat the fruit? God asked. Uh huh, Adam replied. Then why did you? said the Father. I dont know, said Eve. She started it! Adam said. Did not! Did too! DID NOT! Having had it with the two of them, Gods 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 havent taken it, dont be hard on yourself. After all, if God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you ?
