- A father knelt with his son to hear his prayers. The three year old
boy
began in all seriousness: "Our Father who Art in Heaven, how do You know
my name? And another four-year-old prayed: "And forgive us our trash
baskets as
we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
- A teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six
year
olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy father and thy
mother," she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat
our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family of seven)
answered, "Thou shall not kill."
- Newly assigned officers to a Naval Air Station are quite often
"adopted" by a family. One such young officer, a Lieut Commander,
kind-of became an Uncle to the family's only 4 year old daughter.
One Sunday, he asked her what she had learned in Sunday School. She
said she had learned all about the ten commanders, and that they were
always broke.
This same little girl, was told to draw her conception of the Hebrews
flight from Egypt. She came home with a picture of an airplane, the
passengers all with halos and one person up front without one. When
asked about it, she explained, "Oh, that's Pontius, the pilot."
