A little boy is gone to school one day and while he is gone, his cat gets killed. His mother is very concerned about how he will take the news.
Upon his arrival home, she explains the tragedy and tries to console the boy saying, "But don't worry, the cat is in heaven with God now."
The boy replied, "What's God gonna' do with a dead cat?"
The Work of Christmas
When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
The work of Christmas begins:
To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among people,
To make music in the heart.
- The Mood of Christmas by Howard Thurman
Trying to come to the aid of his Father, who was stopped by an officer for speeding, the lil' tyke piped up:
"Yeah? Well, if we were speeding, so were you!"
A man's greatest care should be for that place where he dwells longest; therefore eternity should be in his scope!
- Thomas Manton
"Our Father which art in heaven."
--- Yes?
Don't interrupt me. I'm praying
--- But you called me
Called you? I didn't call you. I'm praying. "Our father which art in heaven."
--- There you did it again.
Did what?
--- Called me. You said, "Our Father which art in heaven." Here I am. What's on your mind?
