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 God's 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
"DON'T!"
"Don't what?" Adam replied.
"Don't 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 hadn't
stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later, God saw His children
having an apple break and He was ticked! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the
fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?" said the Father.
"I don't know," said Eve.
"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.
