Sunday Funnies: April 2

Posted in humorTagged , ,

A re-run of my dad’s humor cards. They make me chuckle all over again – so I hope you enjoy them whether it’s the first time or second (first posted on 2/20/22).

The backstory: My dad was a Presbyterian pastor for 40 years. He kept a well curated stack of humor cards – little stories he heard, found or saw and then typed onto 5×7 cards. Then he wrote in the margins when he used that particular item. His humor was often an easy way to settle in to something deeper – by laughing and thinking about the buried truth in these little nuggets, it paved the way to an open heart.

Kids Church Humor

After church of Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother, “Mom, I’ve decided I’m going to be a minister when I grow up.” “That’s okay with us,” the mother said, “But what made you decide to be a minister?” “Well,” the boy replied, “I’ll have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell than to sit still and listen.”

A heavy snowstorm closed the schools in one town. When the children returned to school a few days later, one grade school teacher asked her students whether they had used the time away from school constructively. “I sure did, teacher,” one little girl replied, “I just prayed for more snow.”

A Sunday school teacher challenged her children to take some time on Sunday afternoon to write a letter to God. They were to bring back their letter the follow Sunday. One little boy wrote, “Dear God. We had a good time at church today. Wish You could have been there.”

Adding to my dad’s collection, I have one from my daughter this week.

Miss O told me that she saw a mosquito in the school bathroom the other day but it didn’t nip her because God took care of it. She expanded, “Well, God or Jesus, whoever deals with that.” 

So I responded, “Really?” 

And she said, “Sure, they each have their own areas!”
