Stories and Parables

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather’s lap. She intently listens to the old man as he reads the story of creation.

From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. Then, she will touch her own cheek and listen to the story again. She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again.

Finally, she spoke up, “Lolo, did God make you?”

"That’s right, sweetheart,” he answered very proudly because the girl is getting the point of the creation story. "God made me a long time ago,” he said.

“Ohhh” she nodded, “Lolo, did God make me, too?”

“Yes, indeed, honey,” he said, “God made you just a little while ago,” he explained, because he noticed what the girl is doing with their cheeks.

The girl once again felt their respective faces. Then she knowingly observed, “God's getting better at it, isn't he?”


Remember:

Well, God is not getting better at what He does. It is just that we are getting to know Him better, and we appreciate what He is doing in our lives better.
