A
little boy was in a relative's wedding.
As he was
coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and
turn to the crowd. While
facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and
roar. So
it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. As you can
imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he
reached the pulpit. When
asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the
Ring Bear."
One Sunday in a
One particular
four-year old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
A
little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better
boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."
A
little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination,
looking at the old pages as he turned them. Then something
fell out of the
Bible. He
picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree
that has been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what
I found," the
boy called out. "What
have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With
astonishment in the young
boy's voice he answered, "I think it's Adam's suit".
The
preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as the preached, he
moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went.
Then he moved
to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before
jerking it again. After
several circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward
her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?"
Six-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."
My
grandson was visiting one day when he asked , "Grandma, do you know
how you and God are alike?"
I
mentally polished my halo, while I asked, "No, how are
we alike?" "You're
both old!" he replied.
A
Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were
ready
to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could
tell her
what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall
not take the covers off the neighbor's wife."
