Innocence of Children: Stories
A little girl,
dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying
not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, "Dear
Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be
late!" As she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and
fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up,
brushed herself off, and started running again. As she ran she once
again began to pray, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be
late...But please don't shove me either!"

At
Sunday school, they were teaching how God created everything including
human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told
him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week
his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill. Concerned,
she asked him what the matter was. Little Johnny responded, "I
have a pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."
