Instructions: To those who have children in their lives, whether they are your own, Grandchildren, nieces and nephews, or students

Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even Gods 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:
"DONT."

"Dont what?" Adam replied.

"Dont 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 hadnt stopped creation after making the elephants).

A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and was He ticked!

"Didnt I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God, as our first parent, asked?

"Uh huh," Adam replied.

"Then why did you?" said the Father.

"I dont know," said Eve.

"She started it!" Adam said,

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!"

Having had it with the two of them, Gods 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 this story.

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they havent taken it, dont be hard on yourself.

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

Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle:

"Take two aspirin" and "Keep away from children."
