The Baby Jesus’ First Visit to the Temple
Marvin D. Patterson
Luke 2:21-52
Introduction
You really have to give this guy an A+ for effort.
George was a thoughtful husband. He wanted to give his wife something special for her birthday which was coming up soon. As he sat on the edge of the bed, he watched his wife turning back and forth and looking at herself in the mirror. ''Reta,'' he said, ''What would you like for your birthday?''
His wife continued to look at herself and said, ''I'd like to be six again.''
George knew just what to do. On the big day, he got up early and made his wife a bowl of Fruit Loops. Then he took her to an amusement park where they rode all the rides. Five hours later, Reta's stomach felt upside down and her head was reeling. Never the less, George took her to McDonald's and bought her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Next, it was a movie with popcorn, soda and her favorite candy.
As Reta wobbled into the house that evening and flopped on the bed, George asked her, ''Well, Dear, what was it like to be six again?''
Reta looked up at him. Her expression changed. She said, ''I meant my dress size!''
Three Sisters
Three elderly sisters, ages 92, 94 and 96, shared a house together. One evening, the 96 year old sister went upstairs to take a bath. As she put her foot into the tub, she paused. Then she yelled down to the other two sisters and asked, ''Was I getting in the tub or out?''
''You dern fool,'' said the 94 year old. ''I'll come up and see.'' When she got half way up the stairs she paused. ''Was I going up the stairs or down?''
The 92 year old sister was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of tea and thought, ''I hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood.'' She shook her head and called out, ''I'll be up to help you both as soon as I see who's at the door.''
