This week’s Bible humor:
“Sunday School Lesson”
One Sunday, after church, Mom asked her little daughter what the Sunday school lesson was about. Her daughter answered, “Don’t be scared, you’ll get your quilts.” Needless to say, Mom was perplexed.
Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea. Mom asked him what that morning’s Sunday school lesson was about.
He said, “Be not afraid, thy Comforter is coming.”
