A bit of humor from Rachael

 Week 1 of a series:  The Bible: Through the eyes of a child

Here's our version of the stories of the Bible if they were to be told by a child:

Creation:

In the beginning, which was close to the start, there wasn't anything except God, darkness and some gas.  The Bible says, "The Lord, that God, is one," but I think He has to be much older than that.

Anyway, God made the world and then He said, "Give me some light," and somebody gave it to Him.  He split an atom and made Eve.  Adam and Eve didn't wear any clothes, but they weren't embarrassed because He hadn't invented mirrors yet.

Adam and Eve sinned by eating one bad apple and they were driven out of the Garden of Eden.  I'm not sure what God drove them in because he hadn't invented cars either.

Adam and Eve's son, Cain, hated his brother, as long as he was Abel.  After a while, all of the first people died, except Methuselah, who lived to be, like, a million years old.

HUGS
(Author Unknown)
 
There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.
 
A hug's a way to share the joy
As sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you.
 
Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.
 
A hug is an amazing thing-
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.
 
It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.
 
And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or special parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts!
