LIGHT RELECTION
Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their uncles.
The first boy says, "My uncle scribbles a few words on a piece of
paper, he calls it a poem, and they give him £25."
The second boy says, "That's nothing. My uncle scribbles a few
words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, and they give him
£200."
The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My uncle scribbles a few
words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight
men to collect all the money!"
*********************************
A Reception teacher was walking around observing her
classroom of children while they were drawing pictures. As she
got to one girl who was working diligently, she asked what the
drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God
looks like."
Without looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in
a minute."
God Bless!
