A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd. While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."**********************************************
One Sunday in a Midwest city, a young child was "acting up" during the morning worship hour. The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew, but were losing the battle. Finally, the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out. Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little one called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"
**********************************************
And one particular four-year old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
**********************************************
A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."
**********************************************
A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."
**********************************************
A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, looking at the old pages as he turned them. Then something fell out of the Bible and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With astonishment in the young boy's voice he answered, "It's Adam's suit!!"
**********************************************
The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?"
**********************************************
Six-year old Angie, and her four-year old brother, Joel, were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked. Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."
**********************************************
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo, while I asked, No, how are we alike?" You're both old," he replied.
It's just a body. And not a very good one, at that! To think I take all this time to dress it up and make it presentable. It's part of my earthly responsibility, I guess. But, when it comes right down to it, God never intended for me to become content in it.Did you know that God sent us here naked? Yes, I said "naked". It shocked me, too! Look at 2 Cor 5:1-4: Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
When I found that verse, I realized that our nakedness is a theme in scripture. Remember Adam and Eve in the Garden? They started out "naked and unashamed", but after they sinned, they made a woeful attempt to cover their nakedness by sewing fig leaves together. God ultimately provided clothing for them. And we've been covering our nakedness ever since.
God provided very specific instructions for the priestly garments in Exodus, but He saved the best for us. Isaiah 61:10 says: I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. Zechariah reports a vision of Joshua standing before the Lord and discovering that his clothing is inadequate. Zechariah 3:4 reports God took care of Joshua's problem: "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you."
Our real bodies, our heavenly bodies are properly clothed. When we finally slip out of this human skin, we will no longer be ashamed. No more hours in front of the mirror trying to make these bodies look good. No more covering up. We will never succeed in being satisfied with this body--it's just plain naked!
So, while you're standing in front of the mirror tomorrow morning, wishing you could find something to wear, remember God's got your clothes all laid out for you. Take His garment of salvation, today, and wait patiently for the fulfillment of His promise -- a fully clothed heavenly body!
