How did they know which bits to cover after they had sinned? Why did they not cover their elbows? Or feet or their head? Can you imagine if they had covered their head, today we would all be going around naked with underpants on our head instead of a hat. Ha ... what a sight that would have been!
If I was naked in Paradise and suddenly met a snake I would immediately cover my tender parts in case he had a bite. And if the snake spoke to me I would most probably poop in my non-existing pants, rather than engage in conversation with him.
What present did Adam and Eve give each other on their
Christmas? Wait a minute ... they did not have Christmas then did they?
It came much later. They did not have Easter or Thanksgiving either, did
they? Or birthdays ... did they know when they were born? With no celebrations whatsoever they
must have been a miserable lot. No wonder they sinned.
One day Eve felt a little miserable and asked Adam, "Do you love me?"
He replied, "Is there anyone else to love?" And that started another row between them.
Another thing Adam and Eve did not have was navels. Yes ... no belly
buttons for either of them. I wonder where they kept their belly button
lint! Wait a minute ... if they were naked they would have no accumulation of lint would they?
It'll soon be Christmas and I have all those presents to buy. A friend of mine is so mean and miserable that he wins the title of a modern day Scrooge.
Last Christmas, whilst his children were in bed, he went outside and
for a few minutes rang a set of sleigh bells. The children were excited
believing Santa Claus was visiting them. He then tooted his car horn a
few times and banged hard with a stick against the garage door.
He then told his children that Santa had been killed in a road accident.
He's not like me ... I believe we should open our doors at Christmas and
invite a drunken, lay-about person to come in and share our Christmas
meal.
My neighbours did that last year. They invited me.
Seriously though, as you think about what presents to give your friends, how about a book by someone you can claim you know?
AND PLEASE HELP A CHARITY
AT CHRISTMAS
...most of this never occured to me.
ReplyDeleteI just had a moment or two before supper.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
Today in the States is known as Giving Tuesday, so I'll probably make a donation to either the Salvation Army or Samaritan's Purse. Oh, and how your mind can wander in those moments before supper, Victor! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed Martha, my mind wonders and wanders at all times; not just when I'm hungry. The Salvation Army is one of my favourite charities. We don't have Samaritan's Purse here but no doubt there's similar. We have The Samaritans who help people in despair/suicidal on the phone-line.
DeleteGod bless, Martha.
Do I suspect you've a new Children's Bible book in the works? Oh, I'd love to see the faces on Sunday School teachers' faces when they read the "real" story of Adam and Eve!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my parents never let believe in Santa Claus.
Oh no, Mevely ... I wish .... No, I do not have a Bible book in the works. If I did, some of my readers would not take to it kindly and think I'm being facetious. I agree with you though, it would be fun seeing the face of the Sunday School teacher explaining how to fix a fig leaf with Velcro.
DeleteI tell you what, just for you. Tomorrow I shall have a Bible Class lesson as a post on this Blog. Just for you.
God bless always.
OK, supper is ready! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood, I'm hungry. God bless, Bill.
DeleteVictor, I was trying to read your post here aloud to my husband but it was very hard to articulate with all my laughing. You are truly a jester in the King's court!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to laugh, Barbara. It keeps us young.
DeleteGod bless you and yours.
We have a lot of charity events during December here in the UK but I'd not heard of 'Giving Tuesday' that Martha mentioned in her comment.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Must be only in the USA. I haven't heard of it either, Jan.
DeleteGod bless always.
I've never heard of the Giving Tuesday either!
ReplyDeleteAs long as we give, the day does not matter.
DeleteGod bless, K.
Okay I am thinking about the 'DO YOU LOVE ME?, inthe GArden. But especially about inviting that under privileged dude for dinner Great idea. Maybe it will happen. If so we will take him out to eat. BUT yes a good idea.
ReplyDeleteLove from over here my friend, sending love your way.
Thanks for the laughs. 😊
