HOLY HUMOUR… (Out of the mouths of babes..)

Humor out from the mouths of babes… from a forwarded email.

Mrs Smith invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to her six year old daughter and said, “Would you like to say the blessing?”
“I wouldn’t know what to say,” the little girl replied.
“Just say what you hear Mommy say,” the mother said.
The little girl bowed her head and said: “Dear Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?”

The boy listened closely as the rabbi read the Bible. “May I ask a question?” he asked.
“Sure. Go ahead. Ask your question,” replied the rabbi.
“Well, the Bible says that the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea – the children of Israel built the temple – the children of Israel did this and the children of Israel did that. Didn’t the grownups ever do anything?”

A Sunday school teacher asked a little boy: “Bobby, do you believe in the devil?”
“No,” the boy said. “He’s just like Santa Claus. I think it’s my Daddy.”

A Prayer for Joy and Holy Humor

“Lord, grant me a joyful heart and a holy sense of humor. Please give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, not to the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer.”
