And the first thing God said to them was: "Don't."
"Don't what?",Adam asked.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit", said God.
"Forbidden fruit?Really?Where is it?"Adam and Eve asked, jumping up and down excitedly. "It's over there," said God, wondering why he hadn't stopped after making the elephants.
A few minutes later, God saw the kids having an apple break and He was very angry.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat that fruit?" the First Parent asked.
"Uh-huh", replied Adam.
"Then why did you do it?", God asked exasperatedly.
"I dunno", Adam answered.
God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own.
Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed. But there is a reassurance in this story. IF you have persistently
and lovingly tried to give your children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be so hard on yourself. If God had
trouble handling his children, what makes you think it should be a piece
of cake for you?
