Unreasonable Eve
Sometimes women are overly suspicious of their husbands. When Adam
stayed out very late for a few nights,
Eve became upset.
"You're running around with other women." she charged.
"You're being unreasonable," Adam responded. "You're the only woman on Earth."
The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep, only to be awakened by someone poking him in the chest.
It was Eve.
"What do you think you're doing?" Adam demanded.
"Counting your ribs," replied Eve.
My 4 year old son spilled his cola on the rug the other day, and wanted
to clean up the mess himself. So, I told him that the mop was just outside
the back door. Quickly, he ran to the door, but realized that it had become
dark outside. Suddenly scared, he told me what the problem was. Assuring
him, I told him that Jesus is everywhere, even in dark places, and that
he'll always protect him. This put a smile on his face! So, he opened the
door just enough to poke his head outside and called out "Jesus, if you're
out there, could you pass me the mop?"
So far today, I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped, and I haven't
lost my temper.
I haven't been grumpy, nasty or
selfish, and I'm really glad of that!
But in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed, and
from then
on, I'm probably going to need a lot of help.
Thank you!
Amen
