Mighty Mom Monday: “We’re in Trouble!”

From Mighty Mom’s mailbag this week….

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew all about it. If any mischief occurred in their town, the two boys were probably involved.

The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,

“Do you know where God is, son?”

The boy’s mouth dropped open , but he made no response. He just sat there, wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone,

“Where is God?”

The boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed,

“WHERE IS GOD?”?

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When  his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What
happened?”

The younger brother gasped,

“We are in BIG trouble this time!

GOD is missing, and they think we did it!”
