Pat’s Piece
(Let’s continue to pray for Pat as she recovers from her recent surgery. Below is a “Pat’s Piece” from the archives.)
A Sunday School teacher discussed the Ten Commandments with her five and six-year-olds. After explaining the commandment to ‘Honor thy father and mother,’ the teacher asked, “Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?” Without missing a beat, one little boy answers, “Thou shalt not kill.”
