my granpy sends me this kind of stuff ALL day long, he has his own folder
but this one was pretty cute.. just thought I would share.. hehehe
If this doesn't put a smile on your face..... Nothing will.
THIS ONE IS FABULOUS!!! It was written by an
8-year-old, Danny Dutton of Chula Vista, CA, for his
third-grade homework assignment. The assignment
was to explain God. Wonder if any of us could do as
well?"

EXPLAIN GOD
One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them
to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough
people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't
make grown-ups, just babies. I think because they are
smaller and easier to make. That way He doesn't have
to take up His valuable time teaching them to talk and
walk. He can just leaves that to mothers and fathers.
God's second most important job is listening to
prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some
people, like preachers and things, pray at times
beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the
radio or TV because of this.
God sees everything and hears everything and is
everywhere which keeps Him pretty busy. So you
shouldn't go wasting His time by going over your Mom
and Dad's head asking for something they said you
couldn't have.
Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't
think there are any in Chula Vista. At least there
aren't any who come to our church.
Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work
like walking on water and performing miracles and
people finally got tired of Him preaching to them and
they crucified Him. But He was good and kind, like His
Father and He told His Father that they didn't know
what they were doing and to forgive them and God said
"O.K."
His Dad (God) appreciated everything that He had done
and all His hard work on earth so He told Him He
didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could
stay in heaven. So He did. And now He helps His Dad
out by listening to prayers and seeing things which
are important for God to take care of and which ones
He can take care of Himself without having to bother
God. Like a secretary, only more important. You can
pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you
because they got it worked out so one of them is on
duty all the time.
You should always go to church on Sunday because it
makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to
make happy, it's God. Don't skip church to do
something you think will be more fun like going to the
beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the
beach until noon anyway.
If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist,
you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go
everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is
good to know He's around you when you're scared in the
dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into
real deep water by big kids.
But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can
do for you. I figure God put me here and He can take
me back anytime He pleases. And...that's why I believe
in God.

Keep these thoughts with you throughout the coming years!
1. If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
2. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
3. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every
morning.
4. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
5. He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose
your heart.
6. What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem; not to
mention that Friday at Calvary.
Face it, He's crazy about you.
Send this to the people you're crazy about. I thought this was
pretty special, just like you. Pass this on and brighten someone's day,
and remember:
God answers Knee-Mail.
