Having Children
GOD CREATED CHILDREN  (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)

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.
BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, Don't be hard on yourself.
If God had trouble raising children,
What makes you think it would be
A piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

1. You spend the first two years of their life
Teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend
The next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
2. Grandchildren are God's reward
For not killing your own children.
3. Children seldom misquote you.
In fact, they usually repeat word for word
What you shouldn't have said.
5. We childproofed our homes,
But they are still getting in.
 
ADVICE FOR THE DAY:

Be nice to your kids.
They will choose your
Retirement home one day.

AND FINALLY:

IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION
AND YOU GET A HEADACHE AND ARE TEMPTED TO SNAP,
DO WHAT IT SAYS
ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:
 

"KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"!

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
