Light refreshment for the Second Sunday of Lent

"I lift up my eyes to the hills; from where is my help to come? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth." - Psalm 121:1-2

Dear Friends in Christ -

Happy sunny first day of Spring!

You remember, of course, that Sundays in Lent are days of refreshment . . . so it's time for a few little funny stories that were sent my way this past week. I hope they lighten your heart and bring a smile to your lips, as they did to mine. Enjoy!

Blessings,

One Sunday in a Midwest City, a young child was "acting up" during morning worship. The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing the battle. Finally, the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out. Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little one called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"

One particular four-year old prayed:
"And forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

Another little boy was overheard praying:
"Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.
I'm having a real good time like I am."
