Great thread and Pledge, dutchess! Unfortunately, my own kids' humor is a little too gross and disgusting for this forum, so I'll have to content myself with reading about other kids' humor. :)

You And Your Possessions

READ: Matthew 19:16-26

It is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. —Matthew 19:23

Six armed gunmen broke into the deposit boxes in a London bank and stole valuables worth more than $7 million. One woman, whose jewelry was appraised at $500,000, wailed, “Everything I had was in there. My whole life was in that box.”

Some people have taken foolish risks to cling to their riches. They have died rushing into burning houses or were killed because they stubbornly resisted armed robbers. Apparently they felt that without their material possessions life would not be worthwhile. Others, when they lose their wealth, slip into despair, even to the point of suicide.

The greatest danger in becoming too closely identified with our possessions lies in the spiritual area of life. An unhealthy attachment to material things can keep an unsaved person from turning to Christ and prevent a believer from living for Him. The story of the rich young ruler forcefully illustrates this truth. Jesus’ words “You cannot serve God and [money]” (Matt. 6:24) certainly apply to us all.

Keep a wide gulf between yourself and your possessions. It will spare you many heartaches. If you are not a believer in Christ, don’t make the mistake of the rich young ruler. It will cost you your soul.

The riches of this world are vain,
They vanish in a day;
But sweet the treasures of God’s love—
They never pass away!  —Bosch

To be rich in God is better than to be rich in goods!

Wow, Sistah... what a beautiful & bright way to start today (which is overcast, cold & dreary here ...as I am sure there)

AND boy or boy did you fool me~ I was expecting a "pet day" and thinking about getting some pet pix from yesterday's outing ready to post.

Thank you. Will have to see what I can find & contribute. Right now I cannot open/use my explorer (NOT INTERNET, the computer file cabinet one) for some reason & so can't pull out any archives.

GOOD MORNIING TO THE FINEST!
KIDS ANSWER QUESTIONS

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. - Lynnette, age 8

On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date. - Martin, age 10

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

When they're rich. - Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. - Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. - Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. - Anita, age 9

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? - Kelvin, age 8

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck. - Ricky, age 10
