KIDS,  GRANDKIDS SOUND  OFF #1

 

                                                           By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.

 

 

  1) An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of  children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local  artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.  "You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!"   A girl in the line said to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little  boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him "I love your freckles.   When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles, she said, while tracing her finger across the child's cheek "Freckles are beautiful!"  The boy looked up, "Really?"   "Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles."  The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles." 

2)
 A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a  swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods."  The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said, I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

3) My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, Grandma,  do you know how
you and God are alike?"   I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are
 we alike?"  "You're both old," he said.
 

4)   When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied  "I'm not  sure."   
"Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised.  "Mine says I'm four."
  
5)  A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments.  They were ready 
to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if  anyone could tell her what it was. 
Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted,  "Thou shall not take the covers off 
thy neighbor's wife."
 

   Plainly, don’t get short changed.  Let’s be ready to meet our Maker.  The Bible (in Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:

1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31)  2) Repent Of Sins  (17:30)  

3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37)  4) Be Baptized In  Water (2:38)  

5) Live A  Christian Life (14:22)   6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
