God’s Top 5 Practical Jokes on Women

by April Gilford

5. 91-year old gives birth to son. Yes, God kept his promise to Abraham and Sarah and caused her to give birth to Isaac. Can you imagine a 93-year-old Sarah chasing 2-year-old Isaac around the fire pit trying to take away the stone ax before Abraham gets home?

4. Multi-tasking. God so inspired Solomon that he put into words for all eternity Proverbs 31, according to which a wife anticipates every need of her husband and children, flawlessly keeps the house, makes the clothes, buys property, never sleeps, and never yells, “You can just starve then if you don’t want to eat it!”

3. The Ark. Noah’s wife and daughters-in-law got to blindly follow their husbands into what must have appeared a psychotic break and spent months on a rocking boat with two of every phobia-inducing, crawling, buzzing, growling, snorting, and stinking animal God ever created.

2. “I will make him an help meet.” God didn’t ask man if he wanted help. Otherwise, we would not spend an entire Saturday afternoon watching our husbands hook up a stereo that would take 30 minutes if he let us read the directions.

And God’s #1 practical joke on women?

BREASTS. Too big, too small, too perky, too saggy, too bouncy, or too uneven. What other single creation of God’s can cause such angst to a woman, often all in one day?

God definitely has a sense of humor. smiley_angel.png

    First time reader … now on daily read list! Great post. God Bless, Pam %) … me in my glasses.

  3. Kendra Says:

    How juevenile and crude. Christians need to grow up and get over these childish stories and notions. The liklihood of there being a god that actually even cares about our poisoned little mudball are nil.

About Life as a Christian Woman

Life as a Christian Woman explores Biblical truths as they apply to modern faith and the vital roles we can play in the body of Christ. Some topics are easy, such as Christ died for our sins. Others, like divorce, single parenthood, work, and submission to our spouses are more challenging. Then there are days we just need a good laugh with God. Together, we can learn practical faith in an impractical world.
