HILARIOUS JOKES AND HUMOR ARCHIVES
Recently my minister's little girl had been so naughty
during the week that her mother decided to give her the
worst kind of punishment: she told her she couldn't go
to the Sunday School Picnic on Saturday.
But when Saturday arrived, she felt that she had perhaps
been too harsh on her daughter and changed her mind. When
she told her daughter she could go to the picnic, the
child's reaction was one of gloom and unhappiness, instead
of the expected joy.
"What's the matter? I thought you'd be glad to go to the
picnic." her mother said.
"It's too late!" the little girl said. "I've already
prayed for rain!"

Do you often find your own words coming back to inflict
damage upon yourself? Wise Solomon has some good advice...
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to
do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to
shame. Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and
discover not a secret to another: Lest he that heareth it
put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away. A word
fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is
a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful
messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul
of his masters. Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is
like clouds and wind without rain. By long forbearing is a
prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the
bone. -Proverbs 25:8
