THIS IS FABULOUS!!!

It was written by 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 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.

 

>>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.
I thought this was pretty special, just like you.

 

and remember:
God answers Knee-Mail!
