When nephews Mel and Pat moved me from
Greencroft in Goshen to Life Care Center in LaGrange,
in February, they brought me a stack of my humor books.
Here's one from World's Greatest Collection of Church
Jokes, compiled and edited by Paul M. Miller:
A little girl sat on her grandfather's lap as
he read her a bedtime story. From time to time
she'd reach up and touch his wrinkled cheek.
Then she'd touch her own cheek thoughtfully.
"Grandpa, did God make you?"
"Yes. Sweetheart," he answered. "God made
me a long time ago."
"Did God make me too?" she asked.
"Yes, indeed, honey" he answered. "God
made you just a little while ago."
She touched his face again, and then her own.
"He's getting better at it, isn't He?" she asked.
I will also share some from Jolly Jokes for Older Folks
by Bob Phillips:
From the same book:
You can always tell who is the host at a party.
He's the one watching the clock.
On the day after Christmas in San Francisco,
a pastor was outside checking the manger scene
on the front lawn and noticed the Christ Child
And another:
You know you’re getting old when your birthday cake collapses from the weight of the candles.

figure was missing.
Right on cue, he turned to see a little boy
with a red wagon coming down the street and
in the wagon was the figure of the infant Jesus.
The pastor walked up to the boy and asked,
"Well, young man, where did you pick up your
passenger?"
"I got Him here, from the church."
"And why did you take Him?"
The little boy replied, "Well, about a week
before Christmas I prayed to the little Lord
Jesus, and I told Him if He would bring me a
red wagon for Christmas, I would give Him a
ride around the block on it."
