G~d's Children

"G~d's Children"*

*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 G~d's omnipotence did not extend
to His own children.

After creating heaven and earth, G~d created
Adam and Eve.

And the first thing he said was:
"DON'T!"

"Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." G~d said.

"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit?
Hey Eve ..we have forbidden fruit!"
 
"No Way!"

"Yes way!"

"Do NOT eat the fruit! " said G~d.

"Why ? "

"Because I am your Father and I said so!"
G~d replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped
creation after making the elephants.
 
A few minutes later, G~d saw His children having
an apple break, and He was ticked!

"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" G~d 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, Go~d's
punishment was that Adam and Eve should have
children of their own.

Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed . . . .
 
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give
children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't
be hard on yourself.

If G~d had trouble raising children, what makes
you think it would be a piece of cake for you?
