ANYONE HUNGRY FOR A SCORPION?

 DOES GOD GIVE YOU GOOD THINGS?

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Evie the Sunday school teacher holds a plate with a toy scorpion, walking around, showing everyone in the class.  She speaks, "Is there anyone here that didn't have breakfast this morning?"

Blond hair Suzie shout out, "Me!  We got up late and didn't have time to eat breakfast!"

Evie replies, "Do you like to eat eggs for breakfast?"

Suzie answers, "Eggs with Ham and cheese on an English muffin."

Evie asks the class, "Raise your hand if you father has ever cooked breakfast for you."

All of the children raise their hands.

Evie continues, "If you asked your father if he would cook some eggs for you, would he give you a scorpion to eat instead?"

All of the class giggles!

Evie speaks,  "Jesus said, "So here is what I say to you. Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.  Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find. And the door will be opened to the one who knocks."

“Fathers, suppose your son asks for a fish. Which of you will give him a snake instead? Or suppose he asks for an egg. Which of you will give him a scorpion?  Even though you are evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more will your Father who is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”  (Luke 11:9-13  NIRV - New International Readers Version)

Kim, spouts out, "That's gross!"

Billy smarts off, "If I ate a snake, it would be in a hotdog bun with lots of Mustard."

Evie talks, "Your daddy loves you and will always give you good things.  And God the Father loves you even more and will give you good things too.  Remember when you pray, Ask and you shall receive. Search and you will find. Knock and the door will be open. And if you would like Jesus in your life you need to ask God for the gift of everlasting life and be Born of the Spirit.  Let's pray!"
