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 was He ticked!  "Didn't 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 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 this 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?


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."
