Valuable Lesson

"Praying Hands"

My little niece, Kelly, went with a neighbor girl
to church for First Communion practice. The
pastor has the children cup their hands, and
when he gives them the "Host," in this case, a
piece of bread, he says,

"G~d be with you."

Apparently this made quite an impression on
my niece. She came home and told her mother
to cup her hands and bend down. Kelly took
a piece of bread from her sandwich, placed
it in her mother's hands, and whispered, in her
most angelic voice,

"G~d will get you."

"Valuable Lesson"

I remember a Christmas years ago when my son
was a kid. I bought him a tank. It was about a
hundred dollars, a lot of money in those days.

It was the kind of tank you could actually get inside and ride.

Instead, after hours of assembly on my part,
he ended up played in the box it came in.

It taught me a valuable lesson. Next year he
got a box, and I got a hundred dollars' worth of scotch.
