Little Boy's Explanation of God -- Fabulous!!!
Out of the mouths of Babes--
"And a Little Child Shall Lead them"
(I certainly don't think any adult could explain this more
beautifully!)
THIS IS FABULOUS!!!
It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who
lives in Chula Vista, CA. He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment,
to 'explain God.' I wonder if any of us could have done as well?
(And he had such an assignment, in California, and someone
published it... I guess miracles do happen!)
EXPLANATION OF 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 grownups, 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 leave
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. Because he hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of
noise in his ears, unless he has thought of a way to turn it off.'
'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 trying to teach the people who
didn't want to learn about God. They 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.'
