A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah”.
The teacher asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?”
The little girl replied, “Then you ask him”.
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child’s work.As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.”
The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like.”
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, “They will in a minute.”
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, “Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.”“Yes,” the class said.
“Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn’t run into my feet?”
A little fellow shouted,
“Cause your feet ain’t empty.”
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:“Take only ONE . God is watching.”
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”
I’d love to hear your “Kid’s” stories – funny or sad. I’ll post the best.

That’s a funny story. – good point.
Mister Randy (lol “mister”) I posted another version of the Nail/Hand photo you commented on last night, in my current blog. It is a clip from the movie The Passion of the Christ. That photo absolutely stirs my heart more so than any other photo of the crucifixion… I mean they all do move me, but this one really gripped me, which is why I like to use it. The one in my header is a link to my testimony.
I want to be stirred by the crucifixion – especially at this time of the year.
lol yea i know
i have no kids dear…
i am only 14
One day, years ago, my son, Erik, came home from school with a very troubled look upon his face, and asked…”mom…I know you will tell the TRUTH….so…is there a Santa Claus?” I had been raising my children alone. Their father abandoned all of us. I was working too many jobs and exhausted nearly all the time but when it came to my children….well…they were my purpose. Erik was seven years old..his father left him…his grandpa moved down south and now, yet another male figure was going to disappear when I told him the TRUTH. Gently, I explained. He seemed to be deep in profound thought and spoke…”mom, is there a God?” Of course, said I. I can’t see him either and I hope there are no more of those surprises in my life again!!!”
No stories. Just stopping by to wish you a good day

Does the bible actually say a whale shallowed Jonah?
life was so much simpler when you thought the world was just as big as you home town
I posted one the other day…While I was reading a book about God to the kids I made sure to tell them that God is always with us. K asked, ‘Is He here right now?’ and I said, ‘Yes!’ Just then hubby got back from the store and knocked on the door to which J looked up at me surprised and said, ‘Mommy! Is that God?’. It was the cutest thing. =)
Hugs!
the child said, “teacher, is this a “qcumber” (cucumber)
cute!
Really cute and funny today
RYC: Easy. It may never say it anywhere or it may, but Jesus Never Ever once judged anyone as a matter of fact while everyone else was judging all the people he was sitting with them, showing them compassion, eating, drinking, healing and helping them. Yes he got angry at times, yes he got scared, yes he questioned, but he never ever judged anyone, not the beggers, not the theives, not the prostitutes, not the mentally ill, not anyone.
I couldn’t think of any kid’s story for now. Just want to greet you, Happy Easter in advance!!!
ahahahaha! XDD
I love these God-jokes. We’ve all heard ‘em a million times, but it’s still funny!
This isn’t a funny or sad story, but I’ll share it anyway.
We were new to the area and didn’t know our neighbors. One day my 2 yr old was looking out the window and saw one of our neighbors driving by SLOWLY in his van. – My son said, Look Mommy, it’s the devil!!!
My husband & I do not talk about the devil, so we were perplexed as to where he heard the word.
Anyway, my son saw him a few more times and each time, he would say, “there’s the devil.”
Well, one day, not too long after, I was clicking on the net and checking out, http://www.familywatchdog.us and I saw our neighbor on the child sex offender list!!!!
btw, cute posts!!!
I’m glad that you freely admit that. my dad would do that a lot only he never will admit it. he doesn’t relize how much it hurts us and him.
“sometimes i think its the holding on that makes me strong, when really it’s the letting go”
Thanks for the humor…I almost scremed here
I was laughing so hard. I love the honest and couriousity
of kids.
I love those kind of stories!! I can’t wait to have some of my own. Thanks for sharing!
Interesting stories!
