Precious Gems

While watching a home video of our trip to Pennsylvania back in July, my four-year-old saw herself with her cousin, Kelsey.  She said, "Mom, may I please go into the TV and be with Kelsey?  I really want to play with her!"  If only it worked that way ... like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. - Thanks to Alison in Ohio for this kids' quote! 
Note from Lois: With all of the wonderful technology in the world today, how I wish this could really happen!  We could spend more time with loved ones and I could meet each one of you dear ladies! 
 
My daughter Amber had broken her arm and while in the emergency room, the nurse was asking me questions. One of the questions was, "What's your relationship?" to which my other daughter, Katie, responded, "It's good." - Thanks to Laura in Virginia for this kid's quote!
Note from Lois: This is a testimony of a daughter's perception of harmonious family life in the home!  Love it!

The Sunday school teacher was carefully explaining the story of Elijah the Prophet and the false prophets of Baal.  She explained how Elijah built the altar, put wood upon it, cut the steer in pieces and laid it upon the altar.  And then Elijah commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour it over the altar.  He had them do this four times.
"Now," said the teacher, "Can anyone in the class tell me why the Lord would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the altar?"
A little girl in the back of the room raised her hand with great enthusiasm.  "To make the gravy," came her enthusiastic reply.

Mother:  "Why are you home from school so early?"
Son:  "I was the only one who could answer a question."
Mother:  "Oh, really?  What was the question?"
Son:  "Who threw the eraser at the principal?"

Five year old Billy helped do yard work and was paid $4. Later, his mother brought him to the toy store.  Billy looked over a rack of action figures, asked how much they cost, then remarked, "It's a good thing I'm working."
