On the bright side
On the bright side
My grandchildren, ten-year-old Emily and six-year-old Jacob, were seated at the kitchen counter with PLAY-DOH. Emily made a little doll and then left to use the computer.
I told them to clear the counter for dinner. Jake cleared the counter and packed the PLAY-DOH away. Emily returned and demanded, “Where’s my doll?”
Jake thought a second or two and replied, “Hmm! I guess she’s in heaven.”

Driving to church last Sunday with my six-year-old daughter, Shelby, I commented, “Did you know that anytime two Christians are together, God is with them?”
Shelby thought about this for a few minutes, then asked, “What side of the church does he sit on?”
