OUT OF THE MOUTH'S OF BABES - PANCAKE DAY


from the ABC set A QUESTION OF FAITH

Catherine, A young mother was making pancakes for her boys
Kevin and Ryan who were five and three began making noise
The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake
Catherine saw the opportunity for a moral point she could make
"If Jesus were sitting here, today he would say, and not hesitate
'Please let my brother have the first pancake, because I can wait.'"
The boys sat silent for a few moments after their mother's address
Then Kevin turned to his brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"
