Little Boy 's Explanation of God...

THIS IS  FABULOUS!!!

 

It was written by an  8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista , CA . He wrote it for  his third grade homework assignment, to 'explain God.  I wonder if  any of us could have done as well ?

(and he had such an  assignment, in California , and someone published it, I guess miracles do  happen!)

 

EXPLANATION OF  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. Goddoesn '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 aboutGod. 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. '  And  God   did not  let Jesusstay in the  grave, but raised him from the dead.'

 

'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 '
