The young boy came home after Sunday School on Easter Sunday and told his mother he could understand about Christ but not about the roses. So he asked his mum, “Why was Christ a rose?” Knock Knock
Who’s there? Dexter Dexter who? Dexter the halls with boughs of holly… Six-year old Beth was asked what she was going to give her brother for Christmas. “I don’t know,” she answered. “What did you give him last year?” “Chicken pox.” George: My dad’s very rich, so I don’t know what to get him for Christmas. What do you give a man who has everything? Harry: A burglar alarm. A little boy and girl were singing their favourite Christmas carol, “Silent Night.” The boy concluded the rendition with the words, “Sleep in heavenly beans.” His sister quickly corrected him: “It’s not beans, it’s peas.” A Sunday school teacher asked her class, “What was Jesus’ mother’s name? One child answered, “Mary.” The teacher then asked, “Who knows what Jesus’ father name’s was? A little kid said,”Verge.” Confused, the teacher asked, “Where did you get that from?’ The kid said, “Well, you know how they are always talking about ‘Verge and Mary’.” Three young children were playing the parts of the wise men in a school play. At one point they came to Mary and Joseph at the manger and said the following: Magi 1: Here is the gold. Magi 2: This is myrrh. Magi 3: And Frank sent this. Good King Wenceslas rings up a local pizza restaurant to order a pizza. “Certainly your Majesty,” says the manager, “will it be your usual? Deep pan, crisp and even?” As a little girl climbed onto Santa’s lap, Santa asked the usual: “And what would you like for Christmas?” The child stared at him open-mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped: “Didn’t you get my email?” Dear Santa, There are three little boys who live at our house. There’s Jeffrey. He’s two. There’s David. He’s four. There’s Norman. He is seven. Jeffrey is good some of the time. David is good some of the time. Norman is good all of the time. I am Norman. “It’s Christmas every time you let God love others through you…every time you smile at your brother and offer him a hand.” Mother Teresa “Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.” A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." His son asked, "What happened to the flea?"
A Sunday school teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem. A young girl answered, "because they couldn't find a babysitter?"
A young man was teaching in a mission school in East Africa. Before Christmas, he had been telling the local children how Christians gave each other presents as an expression of their joy at Christmas time.
On Christmas morning, a boy around ten years old brought the teacher a seashell of great beauty. When asked where he had discovered such a magnificent shell the boy said that he had walked many kilometres to a certain bay, the only spot where such shells could be found. " I think it was wonderful of you to travel so far to get this lovely gift for me," the teacher exclaimed. His eyes brightening, the boy replied, "Long walk part of the gift." Jesus made the long journey to earth to show us how much God loves us. "God so love the world that he gave His only Son that whosoever believes in him will have eternal life." John 3:16 |
