UNANSWERED PRAYER
The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her
father
always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon.
One day, she asked him why.
'Well, Honey,' he began, proud that his daughter was so
observant of his messages. 'I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good
sermon.'
'How come He doesn't answer it?' she asked.
BEING THANKFUL
A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, 'So
your mother
says your prayers for you each night? That's very commendable.
What does she say?'
The little boy replied, 'Thank God he's in bed!'
TIME TO PRAY
A pastor asked a little boy if he said his prayers
every night.
'Yes, sir.' the boy replied.
'And, do you always say them in the morning, too?' the pastor asked.
'No sir,' the boy replied. 'I ain't scared in the daytime.'
SAY A PRAYER
Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday
dinner at his
Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food
was being served.
When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.
'Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer.' said his mother.
'I don't need to,' the boy replied. 'Of course, you do.' his mother
insisted. 'We always say a prayer before eating at our house.'
'That's at our house.' Johnny explained. 'But this is Grandma's house
and she knows how to cook!'
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young
class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm
23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter.
Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember
the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.
On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the
congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to
the microphone and said proudly, 'The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all
I need to know.'
