Before lunch, the children have some time to run around the yard, as they put their shoes on, they have to quote the Bible verses they have learned. Daniel (2 years old) being the youngest one then, was always the last one to quote his. Seeing the rests of the children already out side, he wanted to get through his verses right away. He quoted Psalm 2, “Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in His sword His pleasure.” (Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.) He continues, “I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I forgotten thee.” (I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.)

While having story time one morning, Andy (4 years old) had to use the restroom, and so he went, minutes went by, Jon went to the rescue. Andy came rushing out of the bathroom announcing, “I didn’t do it!”. Puzzled by the innocence declared, I had to wait for Jon to find out. Not long after that, Jon came in, “Yes, he did!” “Did what?” I asked. “He put wads of toilet paper in the toilet bowl!” Andy, tried to gain composure with his declaration of innocence, exclaimed, “I did” with a pause, said “but the Devil told me to do it!”

Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about.
The daughter answered, ‘Don’t be scared, you’ll get your quilt.’
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning’s Sunday school lesson was about.
He said ‘Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming.’

Little Susan, four years old, returned from Sunday School with her offering money.
“Why didn’t you give your money in the offering today, dear?” her mother asked.
“Because our teacher told us that if we love Jesus He comes & lives in our hearts. And you told me never to put money in my mouth. So I didn’t know what to do. If I gave my money to Jesus I would have to swallow it.”

A story is told of a father who took his boy on his knee & told him the story of the lost sheep; now it found a hole in the fence & crawled through; how glad it was to get away; hot it skipped & played in the sunshine until it wandered so far that it could not find its way back home. And then he told him of the wolf that chased the sheep, & how, finally the good shepherd came & rescued it & carried it back to the fold.
The little boy was greatly interested & when the story was over, he surprised his father by asking, “Did they nail up the hole in the fence?”
How often we overlook the “hole in the fence!”

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, ‘Why is the bride dressed in white?”
The mother replied, ‘Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life.’
The child thought about this for a moment then said, ‘So why is the groom wearing black?’

A six-year-old went into a bank & asked to see the president. A courteous clerk showed her into his private office. She explained that her girls’ club was raising money for a new club house & would he please contribute?
The banker laid a dollar & a dime on the desk & said, “Take your choice, Miss.”
She picked up the dime & said, “My mother always taught me to take the smallest piece.” Picking up the dollar bill also, she added: “But so I won’t lose this dime, I’ll take this piece of paper to wrap it up in.”

A small boy invaded the lingerie section of a big California department store & shyly presented his problem to a woman clerk. “I want to buy my mom a present of a slip,” he said, “but I don’t know what size she wears.”
“Is she tall or short, fat or skinny?” asked the clerk.
“She’s just perfect,” beamed the small boy. So she wrapped up a size 34 for him.
Two days later mom came to the store herself–and changed it to a 52.

During a blistering hot day, a family was entertaining guests for dinner. When all were seated, the man of the house turned to his six-year-old son & asked him to say the blessing.
“But daddy, I don’t know what to say,” he protested.
“Oh, just say what you’ve heard me say,” the mother chimed in.
Obediently, he bowed his little head & said, “Oh, Lord, why did I invite these people here on a hot day like this!”
