"Mom, where did I come from ?"

l
A little boy had to write a report for school. So, he went to his mother and asked, "Mom, where did I come from ?"

Surprised at hearing such a question from her child, the mother discreetly answered, "Um, the stork brought you."

"And where did YOU come from ?" the boy continued.

"Well, the stork brought me, just like he brought you. Now go to your room, no more questions please."

But the boy persisted. "What about grandma ? Where did grandma come from?"

"Look, the stork brought grandma, the stork brought me, the stork brought you ! Now, go to your room. I don't want to talk about this any more!"

So, the little boy went to his room and began writing his report: "Our family hasn't had a normal birth in three generations..."

Where to take it from here...

Do you ever wonder how you got here ? The world sometimes gives you answers that are about as stupid as "the stork brought you". Don't believe it. You did not get here by accident. You are not just a highly developed monkey. The Bible tells that you were "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalms 139:14).

Reducing the mysteries of the universe to something that we can measure is like parents telling small children all tales, so they will stop asking questions. Don't let all tales invented in the name of science rob you of your faith. No one knows exactly how God did it, but we know that God created everything, including you and me - and He knows each of us by name. Not only that, He loves and desires a personal relationship with each person He has created. He wants to have a personal relationship with You.

Thank you for your valuable time. May God bless you.
